Hispanics and Latinos in the United States
But what is Spanglish?
Is it a dialect, slang? A real language?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, Spanglish is a mix of Spanish and English most frequently used in the United States.
Spanglish is helpful to people who are familiar with both languages, especially in cases where one of the languages has a word or expression that the other lacks. So, they borrow.
Some people get irritated by the mix; other people feel connected when they can both “code switch” between terms and communicate with each other.
