Shebaya (Shebaye, Shebayo) is an extinct Arawakan language of Trinidad and perhaps the Venezuelan coast, or in the Guianas according to Loukotka, who incorrectly classified it as Cariban.[2] It is only attested by a few words in a 1633 book by Joannes de Laet.[3] Aikhenvald (1999) classifies it with the Ta-Arawakan (Caribbean Arawakan) languages.[4]
