ABANTU bavame ukubiza iNicaragua ngezwe lamachibi nezintaba-mlilo. Leli zwe linechibi elikhulukazi eMelika Ephakathi—iNicaragua. Izizwe zomdabu zilibiza nge-Cocibolca, okusho ukuthi “ULwandle Olunoshukela.” Linamakhulu eziqhingi futhi liwukuphela kwechibi elinamanzi angenasawoti anezinhlanzi zasolwandle ezifana noshaka, i-swordfish, ne-tarpon.

INicaragua iphinde ibe nenye yezindawo eziqhele kunazo zonke eMelika Ephakathi—iMosquito Coast. Le ndawo ebanzi ngamakhilomitha angu-65, igudla cishe yonke ingxenye yogu olusempumalanga kuze kufike eHonduras. AmaMiskito (elinye igama elisho amaMosquito) angelinye lamaqembu ahlukahlukene abantu bomdabu baseNicaragua, futhi ukuba khona kwabo kubukeka sengathi kwaqala ngaphambi kokufika kwabaseYurophu ngekhulu le-16.

AmaMiskito anobudlelwane obuqinile nabanye futhi anamasiko ahlukile. Ngokwesibonelo, ulimi lwamaMiskito alunawo amagama afana nathi, “Mnumzane” noma “Nkosazana.” Ezindaweni zasemakhaya, intsha ibiza abantu abadala ngokuthi “Malume” noma “Anti,” kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ihlobene nabo noma cha. Isiko elidala phakathi  kwamaMiskito ukuba owesifazane abingelele abangane abaseduze noma izihlobo ngokuthintana nabo ngezihlathi. Bese, owesifazane oqale ukubingelela adonse umoya ngamakhala.
