Alemañol
# Alemañol

Alemañol (a portmanteau formed of Spanish words alemán and español) is a mixed language, spoken by Spanish speakers in German regions, which formed with German and Spanish. It appeared in the 1960s and it is used today by Spaniards, South Americans, and other Latin Americans in German regions. In the same way, it is also spoken by descendants of German settlers in South America, mostly Southern Cone. Alemañol is also spoken by South American residents of German descent in native German-speaking countries. Alemañol is considered a hybrid language by linguists—many actually refer to Alemañol as "Spanish-German code-switching", though there is some influence of borrowing, and lexical and grammatical shifts as well.
