Spanish in Chicago
Spanish is by far the most spoken language in Cook County after English. Most Spanish-speaking Chicagoans have Mexican roots, centered on Pilsen, Little Village and Back of the Yards and suburbs such as Cicero, and the city's Puerto Rican community has its home in Humboldt Park, where the steel flags of Paseo Boricua mark the neighborhood.
For legal work, AMS books Spanish interpreters from the Illinois court registry's Certified tier; for medical work, CCHI or NBCMI certified Spanish interpreters.
Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include Pilsen, Little Village (La Villita), Back of the Yards, Humboldt Park, Belmont Cragin and Cicero.
