a term used to describe a style of speech in which speakers CODESWITCH between Spanish and English. Although some people consider Spanglish a corrupt form of language, its speakers often value it as a stylistic choice that displays proficiency in both languages and/or demonstrates speakers’ pride in their bicultural identities. Most linguists would argue that Spanglish is not a new language because there are no novel grammatical rules or forms not already found in English or Spanish. Instead, it is a complex way of combining the linguistic resources speakers have. Speakers in many bilingual communities have names for the practice of combining their two languages: in addition to Spanglish, we find such labels as Konglish (Korean and English), Singlish (Chinese in Singapore and English), Hinglish (Hindi and English).

Spanish-English hybrid; the working language of Mexamerica.

Spanglish — also called espanglish, espaninglish,el spanish broken, inglañol, or espan'glés, a blend of the English-language words for "Spanish" and "English" — is a name used to refer to a range of language-contact phenomena, primarily in the speech of the Hispanic population of the United States, which is exposed to both Spanish and English. These phenomena are a product of close border contacts or large bilingual communities, such as along the United States-Mexico border and throughout Southern California, northern New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and in New York City. It is also quite common in Panama, where the 96-year (1903-1999) U.S. control of the Panama Canal has influenced many aspects of society, especially among the former residents of the Panama Canal Zone, commonly referred to as "Zonians."

Spanglish is a 2004 American film written and directed by James L. Brooks, and starring Adam Sandler, Téa Leoni, Paz Vega, and Cloris Leachman. Hans Zimmer was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.
