どこに行っても家がある in 東ティモール
ポツンポツンと家↑(2014年8月10日、アイナロ県、東ティモール) 車はどんどん高度を上げていきます。 どこまで行っても、人家があります。 標高がかなり高くなっても尾根の上などに家が散在します。 東ティモールは、長野県ほどの大きさの国に120万人しか住んでいません。 それにしても、どこに行っても人家があるのは不思議です。 もともと、多くの部族が独立して住み分けしていた東ティモールですので、程良い加減に部族同士が離れて暮らしていた時の名残なのかもしれません。【Bon appétit !】 They consist of a number of distinct ethnic groups, most of whom are of mixed Malayo-Polynesian and Melanesian/Papuan descent. The largest Malayo-Polynesian ethnic groups are the Tetum (100,000), primarily in the north coast and around Dili; the Mambai (80,000), in the central mountains; the Tukudede (63,170), in the area around Maubara and Liquiçá; the Galoli (50,000), between the tribes of Mambae and Makasae; the Kemak (50,000) in north-central Timor island; and the Baikeno (20,000), in the area around Pante Macassar. The main tribes of predominantly Papuan origin include the Bunak (50,000), in the central interior of Timor island; the Fataluku (30,000), at the eastern tip of the island near Lospalos; and the Makasae, toward the eastern end of the island. As a result of interracial marriage which was common during the Portuguese era, there is a population of people of mixed East Timorese and Portuguese origin, known in Portuguese as mestiços. There is a small Chinese minority, most of whom are Hakka. Many Chinese left in the mid-1970s.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Timor)
