Puerto Ricans (Spanish: Puertorriqueños, [pweɾtoriˈkeɲos]),[11][12] commonly known as Boricuas,[a][13] but also occasionally referred to as Borinqueños, Borincanos,[b] or Puertorros,[c][14] are an ethnic group from the Caribbean archipelago and island of Puerto Rico, and a nation identified with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico through ancestry, culture, or history. Puerto Ricans are predominately a tri-racial, Spanish-speaking, Christian society, descending in varying degrees from Indigenous Taíno natives, Southwestern European colonists, and West and Central African slaves, freedmen, and free Blacks. As citizens of a U.S. territory, Puerto Ricans have automatic birthright American citizenship, and are considerably influenced by American culture. The population of Puerto Ricans is between 9 and 10 million worldwide, with the overwhelming majority residing in Puerto Rico and the mainland United States.
