Island Carib also known as Iñeri (Igñeri Inyeri) was an Arawakan language of the Lesser Antilles related to Taíno. It went extinct about 1920 but an offshoot survives as Garifuna.Despite its name it was not a Carib language. Before the arrival of Europeans Caribs had conquered the Arawakan population of the islands cousins of the Taino and Palikur peoples. Carib men killed the Arawak men and married the women.
