    Unhappy US Neutral Spanish

    Does anybody know what US Neutral Spanish means?
    In my view, it doesn't exist. Rather, it might be US Spanish or Neutral Spanish since I've never heard of something such as US Neutral Spanish.
    Thanks!

    Mariana, I totally agree with you. It's either US Spanish or Neutral Spanish!

    Arrow US Neutral Spanish

    I agree that US Neutral Spanish couldn't exist.... as Neutral Spanish is a creation, but could be understood as a Spanish understood in all the US hispanic community.

    La idea de "neutral spanish", es poder retraducir con base en un idioma generalmente o mayormente aceptado por la comunidad hispanoparlante, i.e. que el texto traducido contenga características esenciales para retraducir en otro idioma, o en su caso, regresar el texto a su idioma original sin problemas...

    Again, I agree 100% with your definition:

    Yo también respaldo tu criterio David. Y me tomo la libertad de agregar que un español (o castellano) neutro es aquél que está libre de modismos y vocablos locales y está expresado de manera convencional, de conformidad con las normas establecidas en la Real Academia Española; De tal forma que (como tú bien lo expresaste) por su naturaleza neutral, el contexto de un español neutro puede ser entendido por toda la comunidad hispano-parlante. Por ejemplo, la palabra mona en España significa “bonita”; en Colombia significa “rubia” y en Venezuela significa “pretenciosa”. No obstante, al margen de esos modismos locales, el significado mas convencional y globalmente reconocido de la palabra mona es el referido a la “hembra del mono”. Es por eso que opino que no podemos hablar de “US neutral Spanish”, ya que por definición un español neutro no tiene localidad.


    Truly, my dear young friends, you are a chosen generation. I hope you will never forget it.
