Japoñol

"Japoñol" signifies an integration of Japanese words into the Spanish language. The word "japoñol" is a portmanteau of "español" (Castilian Spanish) and "japonés" (the Spanish word for Japanese). Most commonly found among the second-generation Japanese immigrants in Peru, japoñol has also found its place in Peruvian reggaetón. Its chief presence is Los Kalibres, a Peruvian reggaetón group of Japanese ethnicity.
