English language in Puerto Rico
English, along with Spanish, is an official language of the Government of Puerto Rico. Spanish has been an official language in Puerto Rico since it was colonized in the 15th century. English, on the other hand, was first introduced as an official language when the United States occupied the island during the Spanish–American War. Since then, the Puerto Rican government has declared English an official language on several occasions while removing it from that status in as many occasions. As of 2012, English remains an official language in the Commonwealth.
Regardless of the status of English as an official language or not, Spanish continues to be by far the most widely spoken and written language by the Puerto Rican people at large,〔(''Juan Bobo: A Folkloric Information System''. ) Sarai Lastra. Pennsylvania State University. Library Trends. Winter 1999. p530.〕 and the vast majority of Puerto Ricans do not use English regularly other than some loaned English words during their ordinary Spanish-language speech.〔(''Translation in Puerto Rico''. ) Retrieved 5 March 2013.〕 Various surveys have found that the majority of Puerto Ricans are not fully fluent in English.〔("¿Se discrimina al usar el inglés en algunos tribunales de Puerto Rico?" ) Prensa Asociada. ''New York Daily News''. 24 February 2009. Retrieved 14 August 2010.〕〔(''2005–2009 Population and Housing Narrative Profile for Puerto Rico''. ) U.S. Census Narrative Profile. U.S. Census. 2005–2009. Retrieved 19 May 2011.〕 The 2000 US Census found that 71.9% of people in Puerto Rico spoke English less than "very well."〔 It also found that 85.6% spoke a language other than English at home (mostly Spanish).
