Modern day linguists have estimated that in 1492 there was a range of Native languages that spanned between 2,000 to 2,200. They believe that the differences between them in vocabulary and grammar can be favorably compared to the same differences between English and German. Work to refine the spectrum of these Native languages continue to the twenty-first century.
Linguists who specialize in ancient languages estimate that the Western Hemisphere had about 2,000 languages at the time of Columbus. These languages were diverse and scattered throughout North and South America.

The movement of people, animals, plants, diseases, and ways of life between the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere is known as the Columbian Exchange. This exchange began after Christopher Columbus's voyages to the Americas in 1492 and had a significant impact on both hemispheres, leading to cultural exchange, the spread of new crops and animals, and the transmission of diseases.
Cuba has existed every single day since 1492.
He thought he was traveling around the world to India, he had no idea that North and South America existed. That's why when he landed, he called the natives there "Indians".
