Abuela is grandmother...abuelita is diminutive endearment word for abuela.
Mima is not used in South America.
So you get South America and Mexico...380 million for South America...and 110 million for Mexico (plus about 30 million more beaners in the USA)...for a combined population of 520 million...compared to...
...the population of two tiny islands...Cuba and Puerto Rico...lol.
Nice try...but no cigar for you, Damien.
Don't get me wrong i use to call my great grand mother Abuelita Caridad (That was her name)

I don't know about Mexicans or people in Cali but here in Miami
Cubans,Puerto Ricans,Dominicans,Venezuelans,Peruvians and even Argentinians use it
My ex Girl friend was miss teen Peru in Miami(very hot! ) and she called her Mima ,and so did my Ex from Argentina
Is that pronounced "Mee-ma"? That's what my mother is called by my sister's kids and my son (we spell it "Mema"). We aren't Hispanic, it's just what my niece started calling her for some reason, and it stuck.
I called them grandma and grandpa on both sides of the family.
My kids call their grandparents ; grandma and Papa.
except for my two year old who calls her grandma; Me-maw???
Not sure where she got it or if she just has a hard time with grandma?
I remember when the other two kids were small they used to call her gamma.
Anyway we just go with it.
Growing up I called both of my grandmothers: Grandma, when my younger cousins came along everyone started calling my mom's mom Nana. She passed away 2 months ago, love you Nana.
My kids call my mom Grammie, and my wifes mom Mema. They called my wifes Grandmother Mamounchu(spelling) I think it is Grandmother in Ukrain
I called her gramma (when I was really little, I was told I called her "umga". Everyone got a kick out of that and always told me that story).
I called my great-grandmother Nanny.
