Summary
Of all the Afro-Hispanic languages of the Americas (AHLAs), Chocó Spanish (CS) represents one of the most enigmatic varieties. In fact, CS is spoken in a region that has always been considered as an ideal place for creole formation and/or preservation but, from a linguistic point of view, this contact vernacular classifies more as a “Spanish dialect” than a “Spanish creole.”
