Frespañol

Frespañol

Frespañol (also "Frañol" or "Fragnol"), is a portmanteau of the words "Français" and "Español", which mean French and Spanish. This "language" is a mixture between French and Spanish, almost always in speech, but may be used in writing occasionally. Frespañol is used when a speaker of French and Spanish cannot find adequate vocabulary in one language to communicate, so end up using some of both languages.

Such code-switching, may be used or have been used in places where both languages meet, for example, by the Spanish immigrant community in France or the Latin American community in Quebec.
