East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste (officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste) is a country in Southeast Asia. It's official languages are Tetum and Portuguese. East Timor was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, and was known as Portuguese Timor until Portugal's decolonization of the country. In late 1975 East Timor declared its independence but was invaded and occupied by Indonesia later that year, and declared that country's 27th province the following year. In 1999, following the United Nations-sponsored act of self-determination, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and East Timor became the first new sovereign state of the twenty-first century on May 20, 2002.more..
This group includes within its scope all articles related to East Timor, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on East Timor in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:East Timor or one of its subcategories.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject East Timor}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
