Tainos are actually just a simple sub division of the Arawaks. They were all (mayas, caribs, incas, arawaks ect...) classified under the group Amerindians .... & Tainos is a group classified under the Arawaks... we call them Tainos now just to be more specific because Arawaks lived in other places too...Cuba is one such example. |

The Tainos are actually Arawakans people. just like the native americans had many tribes, the arawaks are made up of different tribes, in this case it was discovered that the Tainos were the inhabitants of Jamaica. The Tainos were first discovered by Columbus in 1494. |

It was recently discovered that Arawak is the name of the language and a group of people as a whole (TRIBE) similarly for the change of caribs to kalinagoes |

No we did not change the name. We only defined the specific group Tainos that were in Jamaica at the time Columbus visited. |

Arawaks and Tainos are two different tribes or groups of people, just like caribs, mayans. Tainos lived in Jamaica, but in much smaller numbers than arawaks, so history books sometimes do not mention them. |

Each had a different sub-language... A different culture and also they moved into the Caribbean region (from the Orinoco region of Venezuela) at different periods of history.... |
