Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a list of Taino words, many of which are not found in any other text book about the Taino language. This rare collection of indigenous words were gathered from the mountainous areas of Maricao, Puerto Rico, which eludes to the name Boricua; the true name of the Native Americans from Puerto Rico. The author of these words is unknown but were obtained by Dr. Richard Morrow Porrata in their original form some 30 years ago. Since then he has studied them and has identified most of them as rare and unique to Puerto Rico. They are assembled in this book in their original form and are a great asset for those who share Dr. Morrow's love towards revitalizing the Taino language. They are immensely valuable and helpful towards filling in the blanks in Taino syntax. This book is a must for any student of the Taino language and it is Dr. Morrow's pleasure to share these remnant words of the Boricua Indian with the world.
