You should write up a petition,and get the people of Gibraltar to sign it. Then present it to your local government and see if they would make it an official language of Gibraltar.

In California and the US Southwest we mix Spanish and English into what we call “Spanglish”…..somewhat similar to llanito. It is so interesting and should be preserved.

We also say "vengo pa' tras" in Texas. I see a lot of similarities with the Spanglish spoken in Texas. We call it "Tex-Mex" here in South Texas.

Spoken with so much passion ❤️

I'm Gibraltarian and unfortunately our Llanito language and cultural idiosyncrasies are dying a slow and painful death. Sadly, the younger generations speak absolutely perfect English, very little Spanish and practically no Llanito. Historically, the Gibraltarian post 1704,is an amalgamation of mainly Maltese, Genoese, Sicilian, Portuguese and Sephardic Jews, which would later add the British/Irish into the mixing pot. Spaniards will come at a later date with the creation of La Linea de Circunvalacion [later changed to La Concepcion] when an increased workforce was needed for the building of the dry docks and dockyard. From the middle of the XX century many Gibraltarians married Spanish women [my mother is Spanish] and there started to be a greater influence from across the border...most children spoke a spanish/Llanito patois with a very rudimentary understanding of English as Spanish was the language of choice at home, Spanish coinage was legal tender locally [perra chica,reales etc etc] , even in school Spanish was widely taught.....all that changed with the evacuation and a post WWII world view which culminated with the frontier closure and Franco's attempted subjugation of Gibraltarians. This led,for the first time, for Gibraltarians to fully embrace their Britishness to the full extend, which directly led to the loathing of Span and it's political agendas. Now, in my view, the younger generations feel more British Gibraltarians than ever. Having spoken to many of them, they state that spoken Llanito is a sign of poor education and something they have no link to. Our younger generations do not watch Spanish TV, do not read in Spanish or have many links to Spain. Example......Whiles talking to my kids i intentionally used the Llanito phrase "Dabuti Compa" and they looked at me as if i had spoken in Double Dutch!!!!!! and like that many other Llanito words/phraseologies. Even our cuisine has taken a hit.....Does anybody still cook "Rosto"? This is a Pasta dish which is exclusively Gibraltarian, obviously Genoese influenced, but a dish unheard of in Italy. Or the cake "Bienmesabe"? This is a local Jewish cake which is distinctly ours. Spoke to local youngsters about this dishes and the vast majority hadn't even heard of them! I suppose this is what you get from globalization and the diluting of local cultures/customs/dialects but a pity nonetheless. So as a community, the more books we write, production of factual documentaries and inclusion in our local scholastic curriculum of our Llanito culture in it's widest extent, the better.

Several of his examples that mix Spanish and English I’ve heard in Los Angeles (California) from Mexican immigrants or their children. “Voy de shopping,” “estoy tomando un break,” “voy pa’ atrás,” etc., exist in different continents and are examples of Spanglish. Of course, llanito is more than that, they have, for example, ancient Hebrew words that don’t survive anywhere else. Also Italian, Arabic, etc.

Here in California many people speak Spanglish and we also use “pa’tras” for example, it’s common to say te llamo pa’tras instead of te vuelvo la llamada. Very interesting how that phenomenon also happens there. Cools stuff.

English is the only official language. Both languages were much more freely and widely used before the 1980s, when more and more efforts by Spain to claim Gibraltar became common. This lead Gibraltarians to speak less Spanish in formal settings, to demonstrate their Britishness.

As an outsider looking in, who has spent a lot of time researching, interviewing, and getting to know people in Gibraltar, I’d generally agree with your understanding. Spanish antagonism towards Gibraltar has had the effect of rooting Llanito people more deeply into their Britishness, and the trend is towards more and more use of English as a result. That said, Llanito (the speech pattern/patois/dialect/whatever we might call it) is still very much alive, but it is shifting with each generation. Remember that Llanito is more than just English + Spanish. The Genoese, Hebrew, Arabic, French and Maltese elements are still part of everyday speech. And there is still plenty of Spanish being spoken.

It's really a lot more than than that. It’s creole language. Try looking for other videos where they speak this tongue

That's not a language, it's a mix, you must know one language and a little bit of vocabulary from the other and you will understand all most everithing. Like if you move yo an other region that has it's own dialect. At thé begining it's hard, but you understand, and with contact you get used to. That border dialect evolves with the evolution of the other two languages and becomes more and more standard English, or standard Spanish. It hasn't It's omen evolution. It's a clare case of diglosia, one language has prestige and the other hasn't. Because of that when the speaker don't know how to say something in one language he copy-pastes the other, yo continiu speaking the language socialy conected to the situation. With time everibody understands that expresions in the region. The words from other languages aren't realy from the contact betwen cultures, but because of the contact with main languages. French has no contact with nauatl, the language of aztekas, and they say "chocolat", but they take that word from Spanish "chocolate", that was toke from nauatl "chocotl", not directly. So, I accept that's interesting and that it's conected to history. But in constant conexion with the main languages It will stay always as a dialect, and in that standardisation moment, it will become more and more standard. It's not losing, It's the last step in the Spanish desapearing proces in that region, not an independent language with it's own grammar. That's interesting also, but we must not bé romantic with "that desapearing language made from mixing cultures". It's a conflict betwen English and Spanish speakers and the community betwen is diferent from both sides, but the reality is that they are aculturizated people that doesn't fit completly in that English world, neither in the Spanish one. But there's no so much original stuff, everithing is a take from one language or the other. Stoping taking from one side to take it from the other is only a new step to total assimilation.

Unfortunately there is a lot linguistic oppressors.
