Spanglish is very definitely a living and flourishing language and is the form of communication most used between my Peruvian daughter-in-law and myself; we are both fluent in each other's language and general conversation is a wonderful mixture of the easiest or most expressive bits of Spanish and English.

Another form of it is current amonsgt Spanish speaking employees of the service industry in the UK when, for example, they will tell you that their "restaurante está fuli-bukd" or, when greeting a new customer will ask "Vd ha buqueado?" or "tiene Vd bukin?".,

I have it on good authority that an alternative name for this vernacular is "el espanglés"

Well I don't know how other people view Spanglish but I am a Mexican-American. I speak both english and spanish very fluently and Spanglish to Mexicans would be like saying the following--

Open esa puerta que esta bien hot in here

Adios

I guess spanglish is used alot here where i live. I live in border city and we tend to mix english words with spanish ones. For example, parkiar means to park your car, frique means freak out. Hope this helps in some way.

Spanglish isn't a language, it's words that American's make up that to them sound like Spanish. ie: Hotdogo, or Hamburgero. Neither of which are Spanish, but Americans think that if you add an "o" to an English word, it automatically becomes Spanish, which isn't true in the least. You'd be better off just learning English. You didn't even spell Chile correct. Are you even from Chile?
