Timor-Leste, also known as East Timor, officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, is a country in Southeast Asia. It's official languages are Tetum and Portuguese. Timor-Leste was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, and was known as Portuguese Timor until Portugal's decolonization of the country. In late 1975 Timor-Leste declared its independence but was invaded and occupied by Indonesia later that year, and declared that country's 27th province the following year. In 1999, following the United Nations-sponsored act of self-determination, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and Timor-Leste became the first new sovereign state of the twenty-first century on May 20, 2002.more..

It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Timor-Leste in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:Timor-Leste or one of its subcategories.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Timor-Leste}}) or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
