Kalinagos spoke a language called 'Cariban'. When the Europeans arrived, they bagan calling the Kalinagos by the name "Carib". They also conveyed the Caribs as warlike and cannibals, which was not the truth. The europeans did that in order to justify the unjust slaughter of the natives of the islands.
