The Alorese live on the Island of Alor, in East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Alor is noted as an area of tremendous cultural and linguistic diversity. Alorese estimate between 48 and 60 mutually unintelligible languages are spoken on Alor. These languages are Austronesian. In addition to &#x22;native&#x22; languages, many of the inhabitants speak Bahasa Indonesia, the national language of Indonesia.  The people in the highland live in small villages, practice Christianity, and their major subsistence activity is agriculture. The people on the coast tend to be Muslim.
