        combination of english and spanish words, spoken with the non-english accent and often contains words that are of neither language, or words with elements of both languages. may be spoken by someone who doesnt speak spanish and/or english well, or someone who speaks both very well. often used intelligently by switching languages for emphasis. also spoken by latinos in the united states who share parts of U.S. culture and culture from a latin american country, and prefer speaking both languages instead of one or the other (also can interchange languages at will).

              Not to be confused with the mock language; this usage of spanglish refers to a type of movie in which the plot is extremely complex or seems to have no plot at all. It dates back to the original movie, Spanglish, which many people had to watch seven times to understand what it was about.
