Why Learn Taíno?
Prior to the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, Taíno was the most widely spoken language in the Caribbean. It’s a language from the Arawakan family, and is thought to have had two main dialects - Classic (Eastern) Taíno and Ciboney (Western) Taíno. The modern variant of Taíno is known as Taíno-Borikenaíki, or Taínoaíki, and was reconstructed by Puerto Rican linguist Javier A. Hernández.
