Nicaraguans

Managua's native population

Nicaraguans are people from Nicaragua, a country in Central America.

The term functions as both noun and adjective: Nicaraguans have emigrated in large numbers to Costa Rica and the United States; Nicaraguan coffee is prized for its bright acidity.

The Sandinista revolution and subsequent conflicts made Nicaraguans a significant refugee population in the 1980s.
