Taruma Language
Taruma (''Taruamá'') is a divergent language of northeastern South America. It has been reported to be extinct several times since as far back as 1770, but Eithne Carlin discovered the last three speakers living in Maruranau among the Wapishana, and is documenting the language. The people and language are known as ''Saluma'' in Suriname. Classification Taruma is unclassified. It has been proposed to be distantly related to Katembri (Kaufman 1990), but this relationship has not been repeated in recent surveys of South American languages (Campbell 2012). History Taruma was spoken around the mouth of the Rio Negro during the late 1600s, but the speakers later moved to southern Guyana. In the 1940s, the Taruma tribe were reported to no longer exist as a distinct group.Campbell, Lyle. 2018. ''Language Isolates''. New York: Routledge. However, their presence has recently been confirmed in the Wapishana village of Marunarau, where they are recognized as a distinct tribe. Languag ...

Taruma People
The Taruma (Saloema in Suriname; Tarənos in the Tiriyó language) are an indigenous people found in the northern Brazil, southern Guyana, and southern Suriname. They used to speak Taruma which is considered critically endangered. The Taruma in Suriname have merged with the Tiriyó, in Brazil they merged with the Wai-wai. The Wapishana village of Maruranau in Guyana still recognises the tribe. History The Taruma used to inhabit the Kutari, Trombetas and the Paru de Oeste Rivers. They used to trade extensively with the Tiriyó people and the Ndyuka and specialised in hunting dogs. The ''Encyclopaedie van Nederlandsch West-Indië'' of 1917 remarked that they should not be confused with the Taruma on the Essequibo River, because they spoke a different language; however, they are probably the same people, and those living along the Essequibo had lost their language due to contact with the Wai-wai. In 1843, first contact was made by Robert Schomburgk at the source of the Tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
