Tarangan is one of the
Aru languages, spoken by inhabitants of the
Aru Islands in eastern
Indonesia. There are two varieties of Tarangan: East and West Tarangan. These varieties are divergent, perhaps no closer than they are to
Manombai, also spoken in the Arus. West Tarangan is a trade language of the southern islands.[2]
