      Actually Nicaraguans are not the only ones who don't pronounce their d's and s's, we (Chileans), Argentinians, and many other countries from the Caribbean omit those phonemes as well. People say my accent is one of the most incomprehensible just because we say either "weá", "weón", "culiáo", or "conchetumare" per three words, apart from some notable intonation and pronunciation differences.
      In fact, the phrase "oh wn, el wn wn, wn" makes sense in Chile.

    I'm a Catholic Geograpeep, and I believe La Griteria is to celebrate the feast day of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, not the Assumption. The celebration happens on December 7th, like an "Immaculate Conception Eve," similar to Christmas, before the global feast day on December 8th. The feast day of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is August 15th.

    The real name is "Nican Atl Nahuac", which means "Here Surrounded by Water" named by Nahuatl and last point of the Nahuas. The Nicaraos came from the Pipil tribe that came from the Nahuatl which are the Aztecs. Mayans came also, built settlements as well as the Chibchas, Caribs from the south and Colombia. The Mayans named an specific mount corridor "Amerrique" (land of the wind) with plenty of gold in it that caught Columbus and Vespucci's eye, later became a point of reference and Vespucci changed his name from Alberto to Amerigo to later rumors of gold in Europe that came from the Mount Amerrique on the Amerrisque corridor located in Nicaragua´s back bone to later the point of reference came know as America in French Ports at that time according to various authors.

      Gallo pinto or gallopinto is a traditional dish of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, consisting of rice and beans as a base. Gallo pinto has a long history and is important to various Latin American cultures.
