The small difference is due to the different treatment of closely related linguistic varieties as full languages or members of a dialect chain. This pertains mostly to Waima'a and closely related variants, Kairui, Midiki, and Naueti. East Timorese languages fall into two distinct language phyla: most are of Austronesian origin (including Waima'a and the Dili variety of Tetum, the main lingua franca), while a small number (Bunak, Fataluku, Makasae and Makalero) are non‐Austronesian or Papuan and are related to languages spoken to the north on the islands of Alor and Pantar as well as New Guinea further to the east.

Bunak Bunak (Gai'), spoken in the districts of Bobonaro, Lalotoc, Tilômar, Zumalai, Cassa, Betano and Same in south-western East Timor, is unintelligible to speakers of the neighbouring Austronesian languages. Along the south coast many Bunak and Belunese (Tetun-Belu) speaking communities co-exist. Modern Bunak is now greatly differentiated from Makasai and Fataluku because of isolation and a stronger Austronesian influence.   Bunak words have a highly eroded structure, many of them reduced to a single syllable; for example the Bomberaian word for 'dog', rendered as iparu in Fataluku and defa in Makasai, is reduced to zap in Bunak. The vocabulary of Bunak and its western dialect Marae is very mixed and contains words which are apparently aboriginal (i.e. pre-Papuan) and Timoric words, as well as the usual borrowings from Malay and Portuguese.   Numerals 1-10:   Bobonaro dialect:  uen, hiro-on, goni-on, goni-il, goni-ciet, thomor, hicu, walu, siwe, sogo Zumalai dialect: wen, hili-on, goni-on, goni-il, goinseet, temol, hitu, alu, sie, sego Marae dialect of Indonesian Timor:  uwen, hile-on, koni-on, koni-il, koni-tiet, tomol, hitu, walu, siwe, soko Source: The Languages of East Timor: Some Basic Facts (Geoffrey Hull, 2004): http://www.shlrc.mq.edu.au/~leccles/langs.html

Waima'a Waima'a has approximately 15,000 speakers resident in the region between the towns of Vemasse and Baucau, along the north coast of East Timor. It is bounded to the west by Galolen (Austronesian) and to the east by Makasae (non‐Austronesian), and forms a dialect chain with Kairui‐Midiki to the south.
