Nuyorican
Nuyorican is a portmanteau of the terms "New York" and "Puerto Rican" and refers to the members or culture of the Puerto Rican diaspora located in or around New York State especially the New York City metropolitan area, or of their descendants. This term could be used for Puerto Ricans living in other areas in the Northeast outside New York State. The term is also used by Boricuas to differentiate those of Puerto Rican descent from the Puerto Rico-born. The term Nuyorican is also sometimes used to refer to the Spanish spoken by New York Puerto Ricans. An estimated 1,800,000 Nuyoricans are said to live in New York city, the largest Puerto Rican community outside Puerto Rico. Nuyoricans are not considered Puerto Ricans by some island Puerto Ricans due to cultural differences; this is a very controversial topic amongst both groups of Puerto Ricans. Ethnic enclaves centered around Puerto Ricans include Spanish Harlem, Manhattan and the South Bronx. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor considers herself 'Nuyorican' and has said that these roots shaped her.
