Calling Lamaholot people a "traditional tribe" is nonsense. Lamaholot is a language spoken by approximately 300.000 speakers who also own some common traditions, but no common ancestor from which they assume to be the descendants, no common political organization and none of the many other features "tribes" have usually defined by. They are a people or linguistic group, living on the islands of Pantar, Lembata, Adonara, Solor and East Flores. 2A02:810C:800:1F18:1814:BB64:E923:4713 (talk) 20:07, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two things. One, don't erase things that were already on this page when posting. Two, the LP3ES' encyclopedia of tribes and peoples of Indonesia (ISBN 979-8391-54-0 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum) includes Lamaholot (under Lamahot, but also noting the names Lamkolot, Solor, and Larantuka). The issue of tribe versus people is likely a problem with translating the term "suku" or "suku bangsa". — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think "traditional tribe" is just a translation problem. Based on the context in the sentence, a better wording would be "indigenous tribe". Jeblat (talk) 11:14, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
