Taíno language
Taíno is an extinct and poorly-attested Arawakan language that was spoken by the Taíno people of the Caribbean.
 At the time of Spanish contact, it was the principal language throughout the Caribbean.
 Classic Taíno (Taíno proper) was the native language of the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and most of Hispaniola, and it was expanding into Cuba.
 Ciboney is essentially unattested, but colonial sources suggest that it was a dialect of Taíno and was spoken in westernmost Hispaniola, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and most of Cuba.
Guarionex
Guarionex (Taíno language: ""The Brave Noble Lord"") was a Taíno cacique from the cacicazgo of Maguá in the island of Hispaniola at the time of the arrival of the Europeans to the Western Hemisphere in 1492.
 He was the son of cacique Guacanagaríx, the great Taíno prophet who had the vision of the coming of the Guamikena (White Men). Yuna River
The Yuna River (Spanish: Río Yuna) is the second longest river in the Dominican Republic at 185.17 km in length.
 It forms within the Cordillera Central mountain range southwest of the city of Bonao and passes through the fertile Cibao Valley.
 The river from there turns north-northeast passing the city of Bonao along the way.
 Southwest of Cotuí, the river reaches Hatillo Dam (Spanish: "Presa de Hatillo") before turning northeast then east as it reaches its mouth at the Samaná Bay in the northeast part of the Dominican Republic.
 Like many rivers in the Dominican Republic, the name is derived from the Taíno language. Taíno
The Taíno people were among the indigenous people of the Caribbean.
 At the time of European contact in the late 15th century, they were the principal inhabitants of most of Cuba, Trinidad, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico.
 In the Greater Antilles, the northern Lesser Antilles, and The Bahamas, they were known as the Lucayans.
 They spoke the Taíno language (one of the Arawakan languages). Juracán
Juracán is the phonetic name given by the Spanish colonizers to the zemi or deity of chaos and disorder that the Taíno natives in Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Cuba, as well as the Island Caribs and Arawak natives elsewhere in the Caribbean, believed controlled the weather, particularly hurricanes (the latter word derives from the deity's name).
 In actuality, the word "juracán" merely represented the storms per se, which according to Taíno mythology were spawned and controlled by the goddess Guabancex, also known as the "one whose fury destroys everything".
 The Taínos were aware of the spiraling wind pattern of hurricanes, a knowledge that they used when depicting the deity.
 Her zemi idol was said to depict a woman, but the most common depiction of Guabancex presents a furious face with her arms extended in a "~" pattern. Guanahatabey
The Guanahatabey (also spelled Guanajatabey) were an indigenous people of western Cuba at the time of European contact.
 Archaeological and historical studies suggest the Guanahatabey were archaic hunter-gatherers with a distinct language and culture from their neighbors, the Taíno.
 They may have been a relict of an earlier culture that spread widely through the Caribbean before the ascendance of the agriculturalist Taíno. Guanahatabey language
Guanahatabey (Guanajatabey) was the language of the Guanahatabey people, an archaic hunter-gatherer society living in western Cuba until the 16th century.
 Very little is known of it, as the Guanahatabey died off early in the period of Spanish colonization before substantial information about them was recorded.
 Evidence suggests it was distinct from the Taíno language spoken in the rest of the island. Orocobix
Orocobix was the principal regional Taíno Cacique (chief) of the central mountain region of Puerto Rico called Jatibonicu in the 16th century.
 The Jatibonicu territorial region covered the present day municipalities of Aibonito, Orocovis, Barranquitas, Morovis and Corozal.
 The Taíno language name Orocobix or O-roco-bis literally means: 'Remembrance of the First Great Mountain.' Areíto
The areíto or areyto was a Taíno language word adopted by the Spanish colonizers to describe a type of religious song and dance performed by the Taíno people of the Caribbean.
 The areíto was a ceremonial act that was believed to narrate and honor the heroic deeds of Taíno ancestors, chiefs, gods, and "cemis".
 Areítos involved lyrics and choreography and were often accompanied by varied instrumentation.
 They were performed in the central plazas of the villages and were attended by the local community members as well as members of neighboring communities.
