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.
