How does the english language influence the spanish language?

One way I know the English language influences the Spanish language, is there are certain words called "cognates". A cognate is a word that looks the same in Spanish than it does in English. For example, the words "perfecto" means "perfect". I'm sure you could have guessed that by looking at the two words, right? That because they are cognates. Another example would be "fantastico" whose meaning is the same as the English word similarly spelled. There are other ways that English influences Spanish, but that's the most obvious way.

What is the impact of migration on language?

Migration can lead to language shifts or changes as people interact with new linguistic communities. Over time, migrants may adopt elements of the local language, leading to language mixing or bilingualism. Additionally, migration can also lead to the preservation of languages through diaspora communities.


What is hispanized?

== In English, the word "Hispanic" derives from the Latin word Hispania, which described the Hispanic peninsula, now occupied by both Spain and Portugal. The word, therefore, describes anything related to the Hispanic Peninsula and by extension, anything derived from either Spain or Portugal. The term "Hispanic" was originally coined by the 19th Century French as part of their justification for French intervention in Mexico. In the US, the term Hispanic is used in law and in custom to refer to anyone connected with or descended from the cultures or peoples of Spain, Portugal, or the Spanish or Portugese-speaking nations of South and Central America and the Caribbean. This grouping is used because people from all these nations experienced similar types of discrimination during the period just before anti-discrimination efforts began to take hold in culture and in law in the US. == Hispanic is the ethnicity of those who speak Spanish. So any nation that has Spanish as their mother tongue, is Hispanic. That is from Mexico, Argentina, etc. In the US, it has been used wrongfully to describe people from Latin America. However, those from Spain are Caucasian since they are of European decent. But not all Latin Americans are Hispanic. Brazilians for example do not speak Spanish. we speak Portuguese, thus making us Lusophone.


What are the effect of migration on language?

Migration can lead to language change and evolution through contact with other languages, resulting in linguistic borrowing and code-switching. It can also contribute to language shift and loss as migrants may adopt the dominant language of their new environment. Additionally, migration can lead to the formation of new dialects or creole languages as different language varieties come into contact and intermingle.

Why was aymara language diminished in Bolivia?

The Aymara language in Bolivia experienced decline due to historical factors such as colonialism, which imposed Spanish as the dominant language and marginalized indigenous cultures. Additionally, modernization and urbanization led many Aymara speakers to adopt Spanish for economic and social integration. Educational policies often prioritized Spanish, further diminishing the use of Aymara in formal settings. However, recent efforts to revitalize indigenous languages have emerged, promoting Aymara in cultural and educational contexts.
