Spanglish! Have you ever heard about this term?
Spanglish is a hybrid of Spanish and English that mainly Latinos living in the USA use.
- Spanglish is slightly different from place to place.
- It's spoken in Gibraltar (it's called Llanito there), but mainly throughout the American continent, for example in Puerto Rico, along the United States-Mexican border, in California, Florida and many other places.
- It is also known as the "unofficial" language of Miami, where both English and Spanish are commonly used in the daily life.
- Spanglish makes the "Americanization" of the Latinos easier, without necessarily making them lose their own language and culture.
- Speaking Spanglish means switching from English to Spanish and back again in the same sentence, or making English words sound Spanish.
Some examples: - "Espero que I'll be back for the meeting the week after" - "T tienes las keys!" - Market is 'marketa' (instead of mercado in Spanish) - 'Faxear' = to fax - Stress is 'estresar' - 'Averaje' for the English word average
