Abstract |
The aim of this article is to reflect on the perspective of the Portuguese-language consolidation in East Timor, which has always been guided both by the political and the volunteers discourses who offered and still offer their service to Timorese teaching in the Portuguese language. In addition, the narratives of the article are also enriched by theoretical modalities merged with two concepts which are "Lusophony" and "national consciousness" around the intangible heritage of the Portuguese language. The main assertion of this article is the result of introducing and consolidating Portuguese as the official language of Timor in all strand of action, namely in the public administration sector, the education sector, the church sector, and the media sector. |
