Definition

  • A portmanteau of “Spanish” and “English,” Spanglish refers to the hybridized linguistic practice of code switching between these two languages while communicating. Spanglish also entails the blending and interchanging of phonological and grammatical elements of Spanish and English in the formation of words, phrases, and questions.
