Bilingualism on "Talk About Town"

Are Gibraltar's young people speaking Spanish? The question of whether the Rock's bilingualism is fading away was tackled on this week's "Talk About Town" on GBC TV.

    i honestly think it’s kinda sad seeing this part of our culture slowly die down, i wish i was taught spanish when i was younger so i could even understand what that were saying, i was raised completely monolingual because of the culture shift

    I am surprised and a little disappointed by the lack of Spanish language skills in some of these kids. Being bilingual or trilingual has so many advantages in life and in employment as well as understanding others cultures.

    A similar situation happens here in Malta. Whilst most people are bilingual with English and Maltese, there is a sizeable proportion of the population which is fluent in Italian or that know this language having learnt it through television. Even though Italian has long lost its official status in Malta, it is sad that younger people are kind of ignoring it, even though Italy is quite close and the language was long part of the island's history..

    I was in Gibraltar last year and local kids hanging around spoke Spanish as their primary language. I saw some young girls dressed in school uniform who didn't speak Spanish but they seemed English to me not llanitos. These must be an Anglo / anglicized minority who hang out with the British expat community. It may also be a class thing. Working class llanitos speak Spanish - higher class ones speak English.

I asked how he could speak Spanish so well if he was an anglo.. he just said "well it's normal, I grew up here". Guy worked at the focona as a customs agent. Can't remember his name though.

    Respecto a los jóvenes, nos los he visto tan mal, hay muchos que sus padres son extranjeros así que hablan inglés y su idioma materno más chapurrean español. Hay que tener en cuenta que el Idioma en el colegio es el inglés y me Comentaron que hace 30 años no estaba permitido hablarlo en el recreo (ni siquiera) además el inglés es un idioma muy poderoso y supongo se sentirán “cool” al hablarlo. Resumiendo, quería decir que es una cuestión de bienestar más de identidad cultural, ellos siempre hablan de la autodeterminación más que de uk o spain, básicamente tienen un sistema económico-social buenísimo y entiendo porqué no quieren que nada cambie.

    Leyendo estos comentarios deduzco que nadie ha pisado Gibraltar??soy española casada con inglés y nos mudamos al peñón hace dos años. Sin duda un lugar peculiar y único. Los llanitos son bilingües, hace 4 meses tuve un bebé en sant Bernard hospital y matronas y doctores hablaban los dos perfectamente, español con acento andaluz precioso y muy tierno e inglés británico. Llevó a mi hijo a unos playgroups y las mamás bilingües hablan alternativamente both languages a sus peques. Hice un tour a la roca y el guía nos dijo que aunque British, la comida, religión, clima y the way they look like is Spanish. Así que sí son bilingües. Las personas no inglesas son las que tienden a hablar sólo inglés, es decir un ruso que viene a Gibraltar a trabajar probablemente sólo habla inglés y no español porque la lengua oficial es el inglés. La realidad del campo de Gibraltar es que el paro es muy fuerte, cruzar la frontera Gibraltar-La Línea es pasar de un mundo a otro! De ahí que no quieran que lo controlen los españoles! Qué les quedarían ? Paro? Los propios lienenses se benefician de Gibraltar! Y los primeros no interesados en que lo controlen los españoles.

    Gracias por tu respuesta. Podría preguntar si has estado por aquí? La verdad que desconozco en términos numéricos el dinero que pierde España en su conjunto por tener Gibraltar; sí que he notado ciertas cosas viviendo aquí y de hecho se las comento a mi marido que es un enamorado de spain en todas sus formas, y si por algo estamos aquí es por estar cerca de mi querida Sanlúcar. Por ejemplo creo que Gibraltar debería invertir más en la línea porque se benefician de infraestructuras, hospitales, Mercancías etc aunque esto es recíproco creo que Gibraltar depende más de España,porque no tiene capacidad de producción. No sé si te referías al contrabando de tabaco que desde mi punto de vista ya no es lo que era. Laboralmente por supuesto que las dos se benefician pero creo que La línea se beneficia más porque el paro en el campo de Gibraltar tan fuerte! No se España pero sin duda muchísimas familias españolas se beneficia de que Gibraltar esté aquí. En mis comentarios sólo quería reflejar una realidad, que aquí en Gibraltar se vive muy bien, sea por lo que fuese, hay trabajo y tienen unos beneficios sociales que yo no en spain ni en uk he vivido. Algunos ejemplos son; la piscina y los deportes en general son de carácter gratuito (pregunté en la Línea y la piscina me Costaba 45€ al mes) los playgroup al que llevo a mi hijo también, los autobuses para residentes también son gratuitos, los pisos del gobierno son un chollo en alquiler (algunas familias pagan 50£) y a saber que más porque yo aquí llevo poco tiempo, los sueldos son buenísimos, la Luz y el agua son mucho mis más barato que en España.... En definitiva, reitero que no se cuánto le cuesta a España, pero la gente quiere vivir con dignidad y bien. Yo pago impuestos en España cómo no residente!!!! E igual que yo, la gente está cansada de pagar y pagar por un salario precario y no tener nada, de ahí que entienda a los llanitos, ellos no son ni una cosa ni otra, ellos son llanitos, porque lo son, después de haber vivido en uk y en Spain, es verdad ellos son ellos mismos ni una cosa ni otra y sin duda viven muy bien que es lo Importante, que en este mundo estamos de paso, y eso es lo que yo quiero para mi hijo. Muchas Gracias; un saludo 😊

Si, conozco esa región francesa bastante bien, al igual que Suiza y Alto Adige que mas que italianos son alemanes, así que no me vengas a dar lecciones de geografía lingüística. Lo que demuestra este vídeo es la cabezonería de los políticos por intentar demostrar un regionalismo denostado, argumentando que en Gibraltar no se habla español, al igual que esta pasando en cataluña, para seguir demandando una serie de privilegios que actualmente ya no tienen ningun sentido.

De hecho, es el dialecto del español más evolucionado. Todos estamos de acuerdo que, al decir más cosas con menos símbolos o vocablos, se minimizan los tiempos, y se agilizan todos los trámites. Y si no, mira los chinos. Utilizan emojis desde hace 4 o 5 mil años, y están a años luz de nosotros, los europeos indigenizados.

There are also small (less than 1%) populations of other groups such as Moroccans, French, Austrians, Chinese, Japanese, Polish and Danish.

    How is that even possible to live on the Iberian peninsula and not speak Spanish well? I respect that they want to identify as they wish, but loosing a second language (castellano) or a lovely, quirky dialect (Llanito) is selling your uniquenesses. It sounds artificial to me to not be able to speak Spanish and be of Spanish heritage (they mostly look Spaniard) and live so close too. My guess is that it is politics being shoved down young people’s throats.
