Other comments: Dela or Dela-Oenale has a decimal system. Dela-Oenale was once banned from schools as inhibiting the learning of Indonesian. While new policies make space for vernaculars, the government does nothing to promote or develop them. Dela-Oenale or Western Rot is spoken by approximately 7,000 speakers in Dela and Oe Nale areas, Rote island west coast, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. |
