Lospalos, Lautém Municipality, Timor-Leste
🇹🇱 Lospalos — sometimes erroneously written as Los Palos, assuming a nonexistent Spanish etymology — is a city in East Timor, 248 km to the east of Dili, the national capital. Lospalos is the capital of Lautém District and the Lospalos Subdistrict. Internationally, "Lospalos" is mistakenly spelled as Los Palos, suggesting a Spanish origin of the name. In fact, it is derived from Lohoasupala, the name in Fataluku, the local Papuan language, although nowadays Fataluku speakers use the name Lospala. The preferred spelling in English, as well as Tetum and Portuguese, the official languages of East Timor, is Lospalos.
