Spanglish

Spanglish is a pidgin of Spanish and English, used in communities where useful terms may be drawn from both languages. Like other pidgins, Spanglish is a product of close border contacts or large bilingual communities, as in the U.S.-Mexico border, Florida or New York City. Unlike vinish, this type of communication is usually used in Latin songs and people who have elected positions who want some votes speak Spanish/Latin languages.
