Re: Question about Spanish

Dear Group,

I am doing some research for a short story and perhaps I can find some
assistance in here. Question: are there countries once colonized by
Spain where the daily spoken language is now a form of Spanish which
has so degraded that it would not be understood by Spaniards or other
(former) colonies?

Also, Spanglish (in some areas of the USA) and Jopará in Paraguay, though these can hardly be qualified as "degraded": the first is a mix of Spanish and English, and the second is a mix of Spanish and Guaraní.
