Cariban languages

Cariban languages are a group of languages spoken by people in South America, particularly in the northern part of the continent. The Cariban family of languages includes many languages such as Carib, Hixkaryana, and Tiriyó.

Imagine that we have a big family tree with many branches. Each branch represents a different language, and all of these languages come from a common ancestor language, like grandparents. This is what we call a language family, and the Cariban family is one of them.

The Cariban languages have some things in common, like grammar rules and vocabulary. For example, like many other languages, Cariban languages use different words for different things, like "agua" in Spanish meaning "water".

Even though all of these languages are part of the Cariban family, they are still different from one another. Just like how all the cousins in a big family might look similar to each other, but still have different personalities and interests.

People who speak Cariban languages have been living in South America for a long time, and their languages have been around for a very long time. By learning about these languages, we can learn about the history and culture of the people who speak them.
