THE TAINO LANGUAGE PROJECT: This Taino Dictionary Is Under reconstruction. This is a project of the Taino Inter-Tribal Council Inc., We appreciate and do invite comments from the Professional Linguists. "We the Taino people of today, very proudly still speak our language in our Taino communities." Chief Guanikeyu


Note: This is only a small example of our Lovely Taino Language. The work that has been done on this new Taino dictionary is due to the great efforts on the part of Chief Pedro Guanikeyu Torres, a teacher of the Taino language.

    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.
