Carib languages

Carib languages are a group of Indigenous languages spoken primarily in northern South America, Caribbean islands, and parts of Central America. They belong to the Arawakan language family, sharing common linguistic features. Historically spoken by the Carib people, these languages have several distinct varieties, some of which are endangered or extinct. They are notable for their complex phonology and grammar, including nasal sounds and verb affixes. Today, Carib languages are important for understanding the cultural heritage of Indigenous communities and their interactions, but many face challenges due to language loss and diminished speakers.
