The cultural differences existing within the Torres Is., at least in the perception of the islanders, essentially match language boundaries: that is, two groups are recognised — the 'people of Hiw' vs the 'people of Toga'; however, a secondary, less essential division is drawn between the two populations of Lo and Toga.
As diferenzas culturais existentes dentro das Torres son, polo menos na percepción dos insulares, debidas á lingua, é dicir, recoñécense dous grupos, as 'persoas de hiw' contra 'a xente de toga ", con todo, unha división secundaria, menos esencial existe entre as dúas poboacións de Lo e Toga.
