Vocabulary Of The Cairi Of Trinidad Island, 1594.
This Dialect of the ARUAC is the nearest geographically to the _Eyeri_, and yet very different; nearer in words to the _Aruac_ of the Continent.
Therefore the _Aruac_ and _Taino_ altho' belonging to the same group, are distinct Languages, and the two people had been separated for ages.
Dudley collected in 1594, about 55 words of it, which are in Purchas, yet have been neglected by all the Philologists. Out of these 27 are in my _Taino_ List, and offer 16 affinities, equal to 56 per cent. The remainder 27, lack there and cannot be compared; but afford a kind of supplement to it.
