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.

Fragment On The Araguas Of Brazil, 1519.

As early as 1519, Pigafetta collected a dozen words of the Brazilian Language; which are quite different from the Tupi; but very akin to the Haytian. Altho' he does not name the tribe he visited, they must have been Araguas, who are thus traced to the Aruac Stock. This great nation was still further extended; since the Patagons or Tinguis, the Chiquitos or Taos, and perhaps the Charruas belonged to it, as I shall show elsewhere. Meantime adding some words from Cabot & Vespucci, we have 17 Araguas words, whereof 14 are comparable with the Haytian, offering 10 affinities, which gives 72 per cent of mutual analogy, much more than with the Cairi.
