Guanches
Guanches (also: Guanchis or Guanchetos) are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands. It is believed that they migrated to the archipelago around 1000 BC or perhaps earlier. While it is generally considered that the Guanches no longer exist as a distinct ethnicity, traces of their culture can still be found intermixed within Canarian customs and traditions, such as Silbo, the whistled language of La Gomera Island. The Guanches were the only native people known to have lived in the Macaronesian region before the arrival of Europeans, as there is no evidence that the Azores, Cape Verde, Madeira and the Savage Islands were inhabited before that time.
==Etymology==
The native term ''guanchinet'' literally translated means "person of Tenerife" (from ''Guan'' = person and ''Chinet'' = Tenerife).〔 It was modified, according to Juan Núñez de la Peña, by the Castilians into "Guanchos". Though etymologically being an ancient, Tenerife-specific, term, the word ''Guanche'' is now mostly used to refer the pre-Hispanic aboriginal inhabitants of the entire archipelago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Guanche'' meaning following the RAE Dictionary )〕
