Afro-Nicaraguan

Afro-Nicaraguans are Nicaraguans of African descent in Nicaragua. They make up 9% of the population, almost 600,000 blacks, according to the CIA factbook (2011) and can be found in the southeastern coast, the mosquito coast, in Bluefield. In the 1990 Nicaraguan national census put them at 25,000 or 1% of the population. They can also be found in Managua. Creoles are from the anglo-caribbean and speak a tongue similar to Jamaican patois. Nicaragua also has a Garifuna population.^[1][2]
