Which (US BORN) Hispanic speak Spanish the most and the lest fluent? (Cuba: move to, land)

[Dave009]

I am talking about the 3th Generation.
Born and raised in the states with immigrant parents.

In Miami, Spanish is basically a second language and Spanish is widely spoken.
In NYC, the Puerto Ricans are more integrated with the ¨urban culture¨ and use English more.
The Mexicans mostly use a chicano type of SPANGLISH.

US born Hispanics of any background speak mainly English, they usually only speak Spanish when speaking with Hispanic immigrants

By the way, what you describe is 2nd generation

[Werdywerd]

Puerto Ricans are not immigrants, they move to NY just like any other American.

Mi gente por supuesto, Dominicanos!

Honestly unless their parents taught them or they spoke mainly Spanish at home, majority would speak English more so than Spanish. After all we were born in the states. Lol.

In NYC? It seems among those of Latino descent here in NYC usually by second or third generation Spanish is almost completely lost.

We don't really have all that many Cubans in NYC. Better off swapping them out in your poll for Dominicans, Colombians, or Ecuadorians.

I was going to say that "other" makes a big chunk of the Hispanic population in NYC.

If they are born in Puerto Rico and now reside in the USA, then they are immigrants.

castellano speaking immigrants from the the mother land

As far as speaking Spanish intelligibly, with minimal slang, change of tone in speech, and garbling of words, Spaniards or those with Spanish descent but are residing elsewhere, speak Spanish the best generally. Amongst other peoples, many speak a garbled sing-song Spanish.
