At the beginning of mean streets
One example is when saying 'a little'

'Un chin' is Spanish

'un poquito' is taino

Depending on where u are it's used interchangeably.

Different items too are referred to with taino words like conuco(woods) batata(sweet potato) cassabe (cassava)

Places too like San Pedro de 'macoris' which was a tribe or something I believe. Thats a city in DR. Azua, nagua, etc

Dr itself is sometimes referred to as quisqueya.

Everybody knows how much Dominicans love plantains which is an African food that came over with the slaves, but few people mention the food that is always on the plate with plantains which is yuca aka cassava which was a staple of all indigenous people's diets. We also eat alot of cassava bread.

My mother's maiden name is Ynoa which is a taino word meaning poison.

The Dictionary of the Taino Language

Genetically speaking it may be nearly extinct but culturally it isn't.

The Dictionary Of The Taino Language

Maybe 40 to 50 percent of those words are regularly used in DR.
Yucca is also a staple in many African diets as well.

Hick part. Like the boondocks.

lol You must have a two digit IQ. ¿Tu eres Capitaleño? The Cibao region is actually the most urbanized and developed part of DR, even moreso than the Santo Domingo metro area overall. We have better infrastructure and standard of living than blacker parts of the country. The Cibao region has historically been the richest part of the country due to our rich soil and natural resources. Back in the day Santiago alone used to be richer than Santo Domingo before Trujillo centralized everything in the south.

That's bs u acting like the cibao is the white rich area of Dr. Santiago is a major city but cibao is mostly countryside and plenty of dark skinned Dominicans live there. shyt most of the haitian immigration is to the cibao. Most of the cibao I seen has been mostly rural with a city here and there.

That's because it is the richest and whitest area of DR, don't be stupid. Santo Domingo has some small enclaves which are richer and whiter than anywhere in the Cibao, mostly in el Poligono central; and there are also some whiter towns in the south like Bani and San Jose de Ocoa, but overall the Cibao region is by far the whitest and most prosperous part of the island. That's also precisely the reason why Haitians come to the Cibao in the first place, because we have the best economy in DR. Dajabon in the northwest is the most economically active border town in the country, and Santiago is also the first major metropolis that most Haitians come across due to proximity.

You haven't seen much then. You must come from a very backwards rural "hick" area, which explains your low education and lack of intelligence. Seriously, you don't know anything about the Cibao region. 5 of the DR's top 10 major cities are located in here. The central valley has the greatest population density in the whole island and is full of bustling cities and towns. This has historically been the richest part of DR, which is also why anytime we had migration from Europe and the Middle-East those people tended to settle here.

I know who you are.

This is that same kid that got banned before for saying a picture of young dark skinned dominican kids looked like "little regular ol ******s" to him. Same arrogant ass attitude.

I'll admit I'm wrong tho most light skinned Dominicans do come from the cibao :manny: like me for example.

fukk u anyway.
