'''Spanglish''' (a [[mix]] of the words "Spanish" and "English") is any language variety (such as a [[Language contact|contact dialect]], [[Mixed language|hybrid language]], [[pidgin]], or [[creole language]]) that results from conversationally combining [[Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[English language|English]]. The term is mostly used in the [[United States]] and refers to a blend of the [[lexical item|word]]s and [[grammar]] of the two languages. More narrowly, Spanglish can specifically mean a variety of Spanish with heavy use of English [[loanword]]s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite Merriam-Webster|Spanglish}}</ref>
 
Since different Spanglish arises independently in different regions of varying degrees of bilingualism, it reflects the locally spoken varieties of English and Spanish. Different forms of Spanglish are not necessarily mutually intelligible.
