Timucua Indian Language (Timucuan)

Timucua is a native American Indian language whose origin is unknown and threatened with extinction. That language has some similarities with Arawakanese and linguist Julian Granberry said that Timucua people may have moved to Florida from their original Amazon home. After being destroyed by the European illness and the war between Spain and the UK, the surviving Timucua Indians were sent to Cuba and their words soon disappeared. The last famous Timucua Indian died in 1767 and Timucuans (and Beothuk) became one of only a few very American extinct American Indian tribes.

After the establishment of Saint Augustine in 1565, the history of Timucua became more intense, became Spanish Presidio. After the French settlement was abolished the Spaniard began to establish a task between Tim Corn Emirates. The Franciscan missionary made the Indians Christianized and westernized. Fortunately, through their scholarship, these monks hold the Timucuan language, one of several eastern tribal languages. By 1595, contact with the Europeans and the diseases they brought down destroyed most Tim Cure people. By 1700, Timkhan's population has decreased to 1,000 people. Spanish colonization relies on marriage with local residents, and it also absorbs many Timucuans in mixed confluence, "mixed" colonial culture.
