Llanito
Llanito or Yanito (pronounced ) is a form of Spanish heavily laced with words from English and other languages like Genoese, spoken in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. It consists of an eclectic, macaronic mix of Andalusian Spanish and British English, marked by a great deal of code switching and loanwords from Italian and many other Mediterranean languages and dialects. However, it does not meet the criteria for being called a creole, and it is usually considered just a dialect of Spanish with many loan words. This Gibraltarian colloquial language can be compared to Spanglish.
