Cuban Slang(cuban dictionary)?

Question

Does anyone know any good websites with cuban words/slang?

Answer 1

There is not as much online as you might expect.

1. This extract from Proteus, the Newsletter of the
National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators, has some examples, but it is set out more like a university thesis, than a readily accessible guide.

2. Other than that, you have to get a dictionary, which could be ones which get listed several times, in internet searches, such as "Diccionario de cubanismos más usuales" or "Diccionario Mayor de Cubanismos". Proteus (above) mentions others.

3. You could always try searching yourself - probably "cubanismos" is the best search word.

4. Note that if you search using "cubanisms" (rather than cubanismos) you are likely to get two different possibilities:
a) phrases - sayings and expressions of Cuban origin;

b) Spanglish - amusing hybrid forms of Spanish and English.
