Abstract

Language is the result of a process of historical and social construction. It is a social system, a code developed and used for the transmission of thoughts, ideas and interactions between individuals. Language is a social heritage, which integrates human relations, through which the knowledge of a people, of a culture, can be preserved and transmitted to other generations over time, perpetuating its history.

There is no culture without language and no language without the support of a culture. Culture is a human production, a product of a collective, resulting from the accumulation of knowledge and experiences of generations.

After 24 years of Indonesian occupation, Timor-Leste resumed the Portuguese language and enshrined it in Article 13 of the CRDTL as an official language, alongside Tetum, based on historical, political, cultural, linguistic, religious and economic aspects. Furthermore, the Basic Law on Education, Law No. 6/2024, determines, in its Article 11, that “the languages of instruction in the Timorese education system are Tetum and Portuguese”.

This language functions in Public Administration and education and, above all, appears in the daily lives of citizens strongly mixed with the Tetum vocabulary. There is unconstitutionality as mentioned in Article 11 of Law No. 6/2024 with Article 13 of the Constitution of the Republic and violation of the principle of supremacy constitutional and the legal principle Lex Superior Derogat Legi Inferiori.

Key word : Language, Constitution and legal principle Lex Superior Derogat Legi Inferiori.
