Why do 1+ million people need an online Tetum keyboard? Tetum (Tetun) is an official language of Timor-Leste (East Timor), spoken by about 1 million people. Timor-Leste is one of the world's youngest nations, gaining independence in 2002. Tetum has Portuguese and Indonesian influences due to colonial history. Most computers don't have Tetum keyboards installed.

The Tetum alphabet uses Latin script with special characters: nasal vowels (ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ, ũ) marked with tilde, acute vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú) for stress, and the glottal apostrophe ('). These are essential for correct Tetum spelling and pronunciation.

Perfect for every Tetum typing need: Write to Timorese friends and family, compose official documents, study Tetum language, read Timorese news, connect with the Timorese diaspora, or learn about Timor-Leste's culture. Timor-Leste has beautiful beaches, mountains, and rich cultural traditions!
