Arawakan languages

Arawakan languages comprise a large family of Indigenous languages spoken primarily in South America and the Caribbean, including regions like the Amazon rainforest and the Caribbean Islands. They have a long history, with some languages still spoken today by communities such as the Taíno and several Amazonian groups. These languages are characterized by complex sound systems and rich oral traditions. The Arawakan family is significant for its cultural contributions and historical presence across diverse environments, representing one of the most widespread and historically influential language families among Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
