Nota puerto rico slang12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() (One question suggests itself: are accents considered optional in PR Spanish? There's not a single one in the article as it stands!) The list format is the wrong way to go for a dialectology article: too unstructured, too anecdotical. Let's redirect and try and turn it into a useful entry on Puerto Rican Spanish.Move content to the appropriate article(s) then redirect. A few examples may be appropriate to illustrate the article, but this article has more than just a few. While the concept and implications of the dialect differences are encyclopedic, the list of phrases belong in Wiktionary.I'll get this article deleted after that. If you really feel this sort of thing is important, I'll include the content when I rewrite certain articles on Spanish. I had the impression that differences in Puerto Rican and Venezuela Spanish were significantly greater than the differences between U.S. I speak almost no Spanish I once spent a week in Venezuela with a companion who had grown up in Puerto Rico and knew "Spanish." I was amazed to find that it was not that easy for him to communicate that he was being thrown by differences in vocabulary, colloquialisms, etc. It's interesting, it's written in English, and, because Puerto Rico is an, um, place with very close connections to the United States, it has a higher interest to English-speaking residents of the United States than other Spanish-language-related articles might have. (Since this question is a bit off topic, feel free to reply on my talk page.) Does anyone know just what articles we do have on the regional variations of Spanish? It's a pretty diverse language, and the different national and regional variants probably do deserve coverage of some sort in an encyclopedia. I wouldn't necessarily object to moving it to Wiktionary, but (assuming it's reasonably accurate - I haven't looked at it all that closely) it should certainly be preserved. I don't see any reason an article on Spanish dialectology is any more or less appropriate in the English-language Wikipedia than the Spanish-language Wikipedia.This belongs in an article on Spanish dialectology in the Spanish wikipedia, definitely not here.And while we are at it, also move Chocha. What is this doing in an encyclopedia? I think this should be moved to Wiktionary.Is there a way to reach them or mark it for debate so I may prove it and stop being deleted constantly? ![]() I am Puerto Rican born and raised, lived there 17 years and Cherry wasn't on the list I have added it twice and someone keeps deleting it.Various suggestions for improvement might be followed up on. ![]()
