It's interesting because Dominicans and Haitians both I think claim some level of Taino heritage (the name "Haiti" is Taino) even though there is basically no Taino descent on the island.

Like when we talk about Columbus some of my Dominican students will talk about the Taino as "us", more or less.

After a hard day of hunting, Taino finally has a moment to rest. And of course, getting rid of her armor for a while feels so delightful, letting her smooth skin breathe under the moonlight.
Thanks Dracokinslayer for this amazing commission

Par ailleurs, j'étais étonné de voir écrire "canoë" dans un texte du milieu du XVIe siècle, mais ce mot issu du taïno a été premier mot amérindien à faire son entrée dans un dictionnaire européen, en 1495 (Vocabulario español-latino d'Elio Antonio de Nebrija).
Canoa: nave de un madero monoxylum (fait d'un seul tronc)

DYK #ChristopherColumbusenslaved & murdered #Taino people on the grounds they were "sodomites"? He executed his sailor, Juan de Luxan, in 1500 for "#sodomy". Wealth stolen by the Spanish Inquisition paid his expenses. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex #QueerHistory

Zondag-gedachte:
Columbus behandelde de vriendelijke inheemse volkeren – met name de Taíno (Arawak) die hem bij aankomst gastvrij ontvingen – met extreme wreedheid, uitbuiting en onderdrukking, ondanks het feit dat hij hen zelf in zijn dagboeken omschreef als zachtaardig, vrijgevig en vredelievend.

Hay una aventura deportiva de «underdogs» en la que que tendrán que jugara al batú, el gran deporte taíno que consiste en llevar pelota hasta la zona de gol del contrario sin tocarla con las manos.

America wants to do to Cuba what what they have done with Puerto Rico! Remember that Cuba is another Taino indigenous island.

How did a Taíno storm-word reach every European coast?

Taíno hurakán (pre-1492) → Spanish huracán → English hurricane (1555) → ouragan, furacão, uragano, Hurrikan, orkaan, hurrikaani, hurrikán.

But only in Europe. Arabic, Mandarin, Turkish, Tagalog each named their own storms.
Hero slide. HURAKÁN in ember orange above HURRICANE in ink black, both in very large type. Subtitle: how did a Taíno storm-word reach every European coast? Multilinguo footer, Powered by Linguagraph. Reference slide titled "The word begins with the Taíno." Four labeled rows: People (the Taíno, an Arawakan-speaking people of the Caribbean), Islands (the Greater Antilles: Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, plus the Bahamas), Era (classic Taíno culture flourished ~1200-1500 CE; Spanish contact came in 1492), Word (Hurakán, their name for the great storm, and the spirit behind it). Italic footer: within a generation of contact, the Taíno word was in Spanish chronicles; within a century, the Taíno language was almost gone. Timeline titled "From a Caribbean storm-word to every European coast." Four dated steps: Taíno pre-1492 hurakán (storm, storm spirit) → Spanish 1510s-1520s huracán (first in Pedro Mártir, Oviedo 1526) → English 1550s hurricane (via Richard Eden's translation of Peter Martyr 1555) → French ouragan and Portuguese furacão 16-17th c. Twelve-language grid titled "One Caribbean word, every European coast." EN hurricane, ES huracán, FR ouragan, PT furacão, IT uragano, DE Hurrikan, NL orkaan, SV orkan, PL huragan, RU ураган uragan, FI hurrikaani, HU hurrikán. Caption: across Europe, even non-Indo-European languages borrowed it (Finnish hurrikaani, Hungarian hurrikán). Counterweight footer: the word conquered Europe, not the world. Each family kept its own. Shown: Semitic إعصار iʿṣār Arabic, Sino-Tibetan 飓风 jùfēng Mandarin, Turkic kasırga Turkish, Austronesian bagyo Tagalog.

historically my answer to this has been Attic Greek or Sanskrit, because older Indo-European scares me and there are things that i want to read :P

less selfishly, Proto-Afroasiatic or the woefully under-attested Taíno (you can never take the Puerto Rican out of me)
