Timucua

Timucua, a North American Indian tribe, lives on the northeast coast of Florida. The name is also used in the language they speak. The estimated number of Timucua spokespeople in 1650 was 13,000, of which 8,000 were in Timucua and the rest were talking about different sister languages. Their first European connection was probably the Ponce de Leon expedition of the 16th century. They were preached by the Franciscan who later wrote the grammar of their language.

In the early 1700s, Timca's territory was invaded by Indian and British tribes. As a result of these invasions, many Timucua lost their lives in armed conflict, died of diseases of the old world lost their lives as a result of deprivation or have no immunity. Since 1736, the remnants of the tribe moved to Lake Mosquito near Florida. The rest of Timucua may eventually be absorbed into Seminolean culture.

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.
