Original citation: Earl, George Windsor. 1848. Speciments of the dialects of Timor and of the chain of islands extending thence to New Guinea. Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia II. 695-704.
Notes on this source: Earl describes this language as "Tenimber. (Baba.)". It appears to be a dialect of Wetan, though not all forms are explained.
