Recognised minority language in | Wetar Island in Indonesia, just off the top of the map. |
The Galoli, or Galolen, are a people of
Mambai people. There is an old colony on the southern coast of Wetar
island, the Talo, who speak the Talur dialect.
Their language, also known as Galoli, is one of the
Manatuto
and thus has become fixed in grammars and dictionaries.
Dadu'a is erroneously listed in some sources as a dialect of Galoli (e.g. Glottolog), but actually represents a transplanted population of the Atauro dialect of Wetarese.
