Chicano English or Mexican American English is a dialect of American English used by many Mexican Americans (Chicanos), particularly of the Western and Southwestern United States. One major variation of Chicano English is Tejano English, used mainly in south Texas. It is mistakenly referred to as Spanglish, which is not a recognized dialect of English but rather a mixing of the Spanish and English languages. This is a native dialect of English, not learner English or interlanguage.
