Taino:
The Sacred Language

Taino is both a cultural and liturgical (spiritual) language mirroring Taino society which itself was both a cultural and religious society where culture and spirituality were indistinguishable. The aptronym Tai'No means Good people, representing not only their personality and culture but also their spiritual practices. The Tai'No (good people) worshipped God, whom they called Yocahu (the provider) and believed in the concept of animism, the belief that all things animate and inanimate possessed a spirit (Hu) and because of this, should work as one with nature.
