Ta-Arawakan languages

Kaufman (1994) provides the following subclassification:

• Taíno
• Guajiro (Wahiro)
  • Wayuu (Guajiro, Wahiro)
  • Paraujano (Parauhano, Añun) (†)
  • Arawák (Lokono)
• Iñeri (Inyeri)
  • Kalhíphona (Island Carib, modern Garífuna or Black Carib)

Aikhenvald adds Shebayo, which Kaufman had left unclassified, and removes Iñeri from Ta-Arawakan proper:

Caribbean Arawakan

• Iñeri
  • Kalhíphona
• Ta-Arawakan
  • Taíno
  • Wayuu
  • Parauhano
  • Arawák
  • Shebayo
