The Ta-Arawakan languages, also known as Ta-Maipurean and Caribbean, are the Indigenous Arawakan languages of the Caribbean Sea coasts of Central and South America. They are distinguished by the first person pronominal prefix ta-, as opposed to common Arawakan na-.
Languages
Kaufman (1994) provides the following subclassification:
- Caribbean Arawakan
- Taíno
- Guajiro (Wahiro)
- Wayuu (Guajiro, Wahiro)
- Paraujano (Parauhano, Añun) †
- Arawák (Lokono)
- Iñeri (Inyeri)
- Kalhíphona (Island Carib, modern Garífuna or Black Carib)
Aikhenvald adds Shebayo, which Kaufman had left unclassified, and removes Iñeri from Ta-Arawakan proper:
