人口

19世紀後半

ポルトガル領ティモールの人口は１０万人ほど。

In 1867, the ex-governor Affonso de Castro calculated that the population of the Portuguese half of the island alone approximated 100,000 people, meaning there were a total of a few hundred thousand souls on the whole of Timor (Castro 1867: 310). On average, therefore, a domain would have a population of perhaps 3,000 to 4,000 people, although there were significant differences in size between those domains in the east and the west.
