Everything about Baicawa totally explained
Baicawa was a
Taino dialect spoken in Hispaniola by the
Taino natives. Bai means house, purple and Cagua means Cave. This dialect is a subcategory for the
Maipurean family of related indigenous languages. The
Maipurean family of languages is broken into 3 branches in the Northern
Maipurean area. Taino falls under the Maritime branch which is later divided into three more areas.
Taino respectively falls under Ta-Maipurean. It is no longer a spoken language today since many
Taino’s were forced under Spanish rule to learn the Spanish language and the customs. Although there were some Taino’s that were able to escape into the mountains with other African slaves the language was lost as they inter-mixed cultures with the Africans and Spanish culture.
