How do you say god bless all my people in taino language?

It's tricky to give you a direct translation of "God bless all my people" in the Taino language because:

* The Taino language is extinct. While there are efforts to revive it, it's not widely spoken today.

* "God" and "bless" are Christian concepts. The Taino people had their own spiritual beliefs and practices.

* The exact way to express this sentiment would depend on the specific Taino dialect.

However, here are some ways to approach expressing a similar sentiment in Taino, keeping in mind the cultural context:

* Using a traditional blessing: There were likely blessings in the Taino language, but they would have been focused on the spirits or deities of their belief system, not a single "God."

* Focusing on community: You could use phrases that emphasize unity and well-being, such as:

* "Ayaniyareka" (meaning "we are one" or "we are united")

* "Kuna-ka-kuna" (meaning "let us live well" or "let us prosper")

* Using a phrase from a modern Taino revival effort: If you know the specific Taino dialect being revived, you could consult with speakers or resources for a translation.

Remember that while the exact words may be difficult to find, the sentiment of wishing well for your people can be conveyed through expressions of unity and prosperity.
