Bunak and Kemak are the native dialects of Maliana but most people understand and speak Tetum.

Employed as "Locally Employed Civilians" by a small contingent from the 110th Signals Squadron, the people of Maliana provided domestic support, as well as local intelligence regarding the threat of Indonesian militia to the soldiers and civilian contractors working in the area.
Australian newsman Greg Shackleton and his colleagues (the "Balibo Five") filed news reports from Maliana (then in Portuguese Timor) shortly before their fateful trip to Balibo in October, 1975.
