Its main objective is to give Caribbean people of Indigenous Taino descent the option to learn a non-settler language. By borrowing words from closely related languages mixed in with carefully analyzed documented surviving Taino/Campesin words, we were able to complete this ambitious work. Overall this language is By Taino; for the Taino people. We hope that our ancestors are proud of our humble effort.
