Tidore is a North Halmahera language of Indonesia. The language is centered on the island of Tidore, but it is also spoken in some areas of the neighbouring Halmahera. A Papuan language, it is unlike most languages in Indonesia which belong to the Austronesian language family. It, and the similar Ternate language, are reported to be related to languages of the Bird's Head Peninsula, West Papua.[4]
It is closely related to Ternate, of which it is sometimes considered a dialect.[5]
