COMENTARIOS SOBRE CONTEXTO DE LA LENGUA

"[The Bunaq people] are surrounded on all sides by Austronesian languages: Kemak to the north, Mambai to the east and Tetun to the south and west... while Bunaq is rarely learnt by non-Bunaq, almost all Bunaq are fluent in at least one Austronesian language."
