Thread: I need your help!

Dear All

While I was doing some research on Google, I found your website which caught my attention. I am a French student working on a Master's Degree's research paper about Spanglish as a new language. I took the liberty of contacting you because I am confronted with a problem: I am desperately looking for articles or blogs written in Spanglish - a mixture of English and Spanish basically - BUT with a majority of English.

Do you know of any newspapers or blogs online using Spanglish in their articles? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Yours faithfully

Izzie

I don't know of any place that writes using spanlish, nor am I sure if what I will say here is 100% correct but I live on the US/Mexico border and from what I know as spanlish there is no rhythm or reason to it, the speaker merely uses what spanish he knows and throws it into whatever is being said. Such as "vamonos to my casa and we'll tome a few cervezas".
There may be some words that blend in better but I don't see it as becoming a new language.
This is just my experience though, maybe others can tell you more.

I guess this is not the right site to meet your needs. I'm not intending to speak for everyone else as members of this forum, however, I don't think they will have information off the cuff concerning articles written in Spanglish, a deviation of the regular and usual course of the Spanish language, and spoken by those who regard this practice as normal(because it is ordinary and/or trivial for them to set the native Spanish-speaking people figuring out what "marketta" means when in fact what they meant to say(and should've said) is "mercado".
I also guess that the articles you're looking for are on the Internet beyond any doubt, as the web has become a suitable niche for those who stand behind the practice of such linguistical inconsistency.

Anyway, I would appreciate if you tell me what your findings have been so far on this regard, since I have no idea where on the web I can find blogs freely written in this «new Spanish language adjustment».

Good luck.
