The Oirata–Makasae, or Eastern Timor, languages are a small family of Papuan languages spoken in eastern Timor and the neighboring island of Kisar.
An additional Makuv'a (Lovaea) branch was once assumed for East Timor, but that appears to be a heavily Papuan-influenced Austronesian language.
The fourth Papuan language spoken in East Timor, Bunak, is more distantly related.
Together they form a branch of the West Bomberai languages of mainland New Guinea.
[4] Ross (2005) reconstructed first- and second-person pronouns for proto–East Timor:[5] Mandala et al. (2011) reconstruct five vowels, *a, *e, *i, *o, *u, and the following consonants, based on 200 cognate sets: *h and *j appear at the level of proto-Oirata–Fataluku.
