Puerto Rico has been officially bilingual since 1898. These languages are Spanish and English. Spanish is generally spoken on the streets.

Religion

85 % of the people of Puerto Rico consider themselves Roman Catholics. There are influences from the old Taino religion and spirituality of the former African slaves. This gives Puerto Rico's Roman Catholicism a special flavour and makes it different from other Catholic communities. The rest of the population is predominantly Protestant, often sectarian.
