Tetum does sound like a good idea. For the sake of brainstorming I've listed some other languages here...<br><br>Just as a point of reference, the most common languages spoken at home in Australia are English (80%), Chinese (2.1%), Italian (1.9%), and Greek (1.4%), Arabic, Serbian, French, Spanish, German, Macedonian, Croatian, Polish, Turkish, Indigenous languages, Hindi, Maltese, Netherlandic, Tagalog.<br>
<br>Focusing on refugees to Australia (offshore humanitarian visa grants 2007-08):<br>Top Ten Countries of Birth [1]: Burma/Myanmar (Burmese), Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Liberia, Congo (DRC), Burundi, Iran, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka.<br>
<br>And there's also another Australian language, which only has loose ties with English, and happens to be only language other than English I can hold a conversation in. Auslan could make an interesting Wiktionary project. It's in the same family as British Sign Language, but not related to American sign language (ASL). <br>
