Answer 6

They speak BOTH Spanish and English, of course! Spanish is the primary language of MOST Puerto Ricans and English is USUALLY taught as a second language because in order to have interaction with ANYONE ANYWHERE outside of the island, MOST LIKELY the mainland U.S., they would have to SPEAK English!

Answer 7

Puerto Ricans speak a bastardized form of Spanish as well as English.

Answer 8

The speak spanish. But as with most languages the dialect varies from region to region. For instance in mexican spanish they might use the word caliente to refer to something hot and spicy. While P.R. would know that meant that they would more likely use the word "pica". However, Spanish in say the dominican republic or columbia would use the feminine versions of words typically used with the masculine in p.r. or mex.
Many italian,filipino,arabic, words have latin root words as well.
Also most people from other countries can speak English although those from the states most often can only speak English.
