(詳細はoutline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Puerto Rico: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is a self-governing unincorporated territory of the United States of America located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands. The commonwealth comprises an archipelago that includes the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands and keys, the largest of which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the least extensive but the third most populous of the four Greater Antilles: Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans often call the island ''Borinquen'', from ''Borikén'', its indigenous Taíno name.〔Allatson, Paul. Key Terms in Latino/a Cultural and Literary Studies, p. 47.

(Based on the encyclopedia "Clásicos de Puerto Rico", 2nd. edition. Ed. Cayetano Coll y Toste. Publisher: Ediciones Latinoamericanas, S.A., 1972.). 〕 The terms ''boricua'' and ''borincano'' derive from ''Borikén'' and ''Borinquen'' respectively, and are commonly used to identify someone of Puerto Rican heritage. The island is also popularly known as "''La Isla del Encanto''", which translated means "The Island of Enchantment." == General reference == * Pronunciation: * Common English country name: Puerto Rico * Official English country name: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico * Common endonym(s): * Official endonym(s): * Adjectival(s): Puerto Rican * Demonym(s): * Etymology: Name of Puerto Rico * ISO country codes: PR, PRI, 630 * ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:PR * Internet country code top-level domain: .pr 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outline of Puerto Rico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
