The word "boricua" is not usually a linguistic term but rather cultural. It essentially means "Puerto Rican" and derives from the word "Boriken" in the indigenous Taino language spoken on the island before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Puerto Ricans might say that they are boricua but they don't say they speak boricua.
Its actually "Boricua" and the Puerto Ricans use it to refer to themselves and where they are from. For example, if you're from Mexico you might say "I am Mexican". In the same way, Puerto Ricans can say "I am Puerto Rican" but a slang for that is also "I am Boricua."Hi, with all due respect and as a Puerto Rican, I have to make a clarification to the answer; our indigens, the Tainos, called the mail island Puerto Rico "Boriken", that change to Borinquen from those words it where it came the word Boricua. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify.
