The Opone and the Carare have evidently been subjected to foreign
influences, but still retain the characteristics of the Carib dialects.
The Peba and the Yahua are not attached to the Carib family. They,
however, reveal the traces of its influence, and appear to have adopted
many words from it. Probably they are largely jargons, and between
themselves indicate a rather close relationship.
Of the Saliva, which seems to stand alone, the materials are inadequate.
Some texts, with an effort at a grammatical analysis, are given in the
_Mithridates_, III., s. 625.
