Furtheremore, while it may be nice to use a more "valid" term, this is typically all but impossible in most cases, due to the loss of the language.

Therefore, there is nothing incorrect aboust saying the "early Domincans" were Tainos, even though it may be unattractive to you personally.

Here are just a few examples:

Germania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early Americans Arrived Thousands of Years Earlier Than Previously Believed

African people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll cede to your lingual distinction as you've differentiated between English and Spanish, though I'll reserve the right to negate the validity of the subject matter in Spanish.

Nice volley. This round to Chip.
