Spanglish

Growing up in Miami, you get used to most people rolling their “r’s”, sounding like a rattlesnake’s shaking of its tale. Down in Miami most people speak a kind of unique language known as “Spanglish” (a mixture between Spanish and English) that to the untrained ear sounds like some English with a bunch of gibberish thrown in like when an infant is first learning how to talk and mixes the words he knows with the random sounds he often makes.

  1. I would agree with you on this. I have made at least three trips to Miami and they do roll there "r's". At first when i heard people doing it i thought they were just being funny. But as i went to different locations everyone was doing it.
