Definition

  • Warao (also known as Guarauno, Guarao, Warrau) is a language isolate of the indigenous Warao people. It is the native language spoken by approximately 18,000 people inhabiting the Orinoco River delta in northeastern Venezuela as well as small populations of speakers in western Guyana and Suriname. A connection to the extinct Timucua language of Florida has been proposed but is not accepted. It is claimed that the word order of Warao is object–subject–verb.
