Alorese (Bahasa Alor) is an Austronesian language spoken on Alor and the neighboring islands of the Alor archipelago in eastern
Indonesia. It is not to be confused with non-Austronesian languages of the Alor–Pantar family which are also spoken in this
region. It is also distinct from Alor Malay, a Malay variety which is currently supplanting Alorese as the language of wider
communication in the region. Alorese is the native language of several immigrant communities located along the coast of the
Alor archipelago, especially at Alor Kecil on Alor and at Baranusa and Marica on Pantar. It has also been used extensively
as a trade language in the region. Primary linguistic research is severely lacking: The scope of this language and its internal
variation are unknown. The speakers of Alor are oriented towards Lembata and Adonara, and are bilingual in Lamaholot as a
language of wider communication. Alor is not mutually intelligible with Adonara or languages of Lembata. Because of their
bilingualism, 'Alor' was formerly listed in much literature as a 'dialect' of Lamaholot. |
