    ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

    Nicaraguan population in the United States includes:

    Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and in large cities

    in Texas.

    New immigrants speak little, if any, English.

    Nicaraguans can get by not speaking English, since there is a

    sense of Hispanic community in these states

    As new Nicaraguan-American generations are born and raised

    in the United States, their level of proficiency is increasing,leading to better, higher paying jobs.

    CULTURE

    The Nicaraguans are heavily concentrated in the Miamiarea and there is a small section of it known as "LittleManagua."

    Their culture includes street food vendors that sell food

    cooked on an open grill called aFritanga. Some national foods are tamales cooked inside a banana

    lead and chorizo.

    Most of the population isMestizo, which is a mixture ofEuropean ancestry and Amerindian.

    Even after coming to the US, Nicaraguans embrace theirnational identity.

    In December, they have church celebrations that honorVirgen de la Asuncion--the patroness of Nicaragua.
