Hence, in (2), corpus and status planning for Tétum-Praça will be discussed, followed by the examination of the higher status that Portuguese language presents in the country, in (3). Finally, in (4), analytical grids will be elaborated to evaluate the effects of language planning in various periods in East Timorese history.
