Spanish in New York City
New York's Spanish is Caribbean and Andean as much as Mexican. Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are the two largest Hispanic groups, followed by Mexicans and Ecuadorians, with a large Colombian community and smaller Honduran, Guatemalan and Salvadoran ones. Washington Heights and Inwood are the center of Dominican New York, East Harlem (El Barrio) has deep Puerto Rican roots, Sunset Park in Brooklyn has a large Mexican community, and Jackson Heights and Corona in Queens are home to Ecuadorians, Colombians and Mexicans.
Those differences show up in testimony and in exam rooms: everyday words for food, family and money change from one country to the next. Our schedulers ask where the speaker is from and match the interpreter. For court work, AMS books interpreters from the New York courts' per diem registry; for medical work, CCHI or NBCMI certified Spanish interpreters.
Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include Washington Heights and Inwood, East Harlem (El Barrio), the South Bronx, Sunset Park, Bushwick and Jackson Heights and Corona.

New York State courts run court interpreting through the Unified Court System's Office of Language Access. New York does not use certified or licensed tiers: freelance interpreters who pass the court system's written exam and, in the languages it tests, its oral exam go on the statewide registry of per diem court interpreters kept by the Office of Language Access, and staff interpreters hold the civil service title Court Interpreter. For American Sign Language the courts accept the RID credential.
