Spanglish is a form of speech that results from an interaction between
Spanish and
English used by people who speak both languages or parts of both languages. Spanglish is not usually considered a language itself, but rather an overlapping and mixing of Spanish and English
lexical items and
grammar. Spanglish is not a
pidgin, because unlike pidgin languages, Spanglish can be the primary speech form for some individuals. Spanglish can be considered a variety of Spanish with heavy use of English or a variety of English with heavy use of Spanish. It can be more related either to Spanish or to English, depending on the circumstances.
