After mutual embraces, Columbus gave the order to depart for Spain. He took with him six islanders, thanks to whom all the words of their language have been written down with Latin characters. Thus they call the heavens tueri, a house boa, gold cauni, a virtuous man taino, nothing nagani. They pronounce all these names just as distinctly as we do Latin.
- De Orbe Novo, Volume 1 (of 2): The Eight Decades of Peter Martyr D'Anghera
