| African-origin religious manifestations have been handed down from one generation to the next. The language of each and every country where these cults are worshipped has by and large been the main means of communication. Nonetheless, most rituals and objects used in ceremonies have retained their original names. The following glossary compiles the commonest terms and words related to the cults also practiced in these Caribbean lands. These locutions sometimes have other meanings, yet only the main ones are contained herein. Moreover, graphic representations could vary depending on the regions or cult centers in which those words are used. |
