Mestizo Belizean Erotic

Mestizo Belizeans comprise approximately 53% of the Belize population per the 2010 Statistical Institute census — the largest ethnic group in the country (a status the community attained during the 20th c. demographic shifts following the substantial Yucatán Caste War refugee inflow plus subsequent Central American immigration). The community has multiple historical sources: descendants of 19th c. Yucatec Maya and Spanish-Yucatec Mestizo refugees from the Yucatán Caste War (the long Maya-vs-Spanish conflict in the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula, 1847-1901, which produced substantial cross-border population movement to British Honduras/Belize); 20th c. immigration from Guatemala (especially during the 1960s-1990s civil war), Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico; and a smaller Spanish-colonial-era Mestizo population in northern Belize. Concentrated in northern Belize (Corozal and Orange Walk districts, where the Spanish-Yucatec-Mestizo demographic majority is rooted in the Yucatán Caste War migration) and in Cayo District. Spanish is the dominant first language of the Mestizo Belizean community, alongside English (the country's official language) and broader regional varieties of Belizean Spanish.
