"Spanglish" typically refers to 2 other phenomena. It could mean:

a. Spanish grammar/syntax with some vocabulary borrowed (and maybe adapted) from English (or perhaps vice-versa).

b. 2 monolinguals trying to communicate through some shared words of English & Spanish and with a mixed & simplified grammar; that is, a Spanish/English pidgen.
Gracias amigo wrholt. Has explicado todo como un profesor de la universidad.
Te felicito.
