Leti (or Letti) is an Austronesian language spoken on the island of Leti in Maluku.[2] Although it shares much vocabulary with the neighboring Luang language, it is marginally mutually intelligible.
Fewer than 1% of Leti speakers are literate in Leti, though between 25% and 50% of them are literate in another language.
