The Dictionary Of The Indigenous Peoples Of The Caribbean

It is to be noted that, this other dictionary of Taino terms is written solely in Spanish. This dictonary of Taino terms can not be trusted because many of these words are false and not complety accuate. These terms have not yet been studied by our Taino language project team. We would like you to know, that our new version of the Taino language dictionary, are going to incorporate these terms and all other documented or recognized Taino dictionary terms, that were gathered by the past Spanish historians, via our Taino language project. Credit is to be given to Mr. Jose Pedreira, for his effort in trying to present an Indigenous Diccionary of the People of the Caribbean.
