Languages belonging to both the Ge-Pano-Carib and the Oto-Manguean families are included on this page.
The Ge-Pano-Carib family of languages is one of four language families now generally recognized for Mexico, Central, and South America. It includes Karina (formerly called Carib), as well as a number of other less-well-known languges. Note that although Karina belongs to this family, neither Garifuna (formerly Black Carib) nor Island Carib do; they are both part of the Equatorial branch of the Andean Equatorial language family. The languages of the Ge-Pano-Carib family are only now being studied, but at least 6 branches are now recognized: Cariban, Macro-Ge (also called Ge), Nambiquaran, Panoan, Tacanan, and Yanomam.
The only Ge-Pano-Carib languages on this page so far are Karina, Macoita, and Yanomamo.
updated 5-22-2001 Karina (Ge-Pano-Carib), formerly called Carib - but not to be confused with the Cariban branch which is sometimes also called Carib -- belongs to the Eastern Cariban sub-branch of the Cariban branch of the Ge-Pano-Carib family of languages. (Please note that the name of this language is properly spelled with a tilde over the N.)
