This Quirky English-Spanish Hybrid Needs Saving
The British Overseas Territory of 🇬🇮Gibraltar has a language like no other. Llanito (or Yanito) tells the story of this unique territory's history at the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea.

It melds Andalusian Spanish with the many languages that have been historically present on 'The Rock'. Most recently it has absorbed hundreds of words from English.

However, Gibraltar is in danger of becoming a monolingual society, with Llanito fast losing ground to English.
