Deep south texas spanish
I'm sure it's been touched on before, but I'm having trouble with the spanish that is spoken in the rio grande valley of south texas. They don't speak mexican spanish.
I particularly need advise on how to pick up the slang from there for to converse with the population of uneducated latinos from there who incorporate a high number of words/phrases/slang that they seemed to invent on their own, separate from mexico, separate from american influence. Help!! |

clarification
In this post, I wanted to make clear that when I said "uneducated latinos", I was not referring to the local population, but merely a sub-group within that population. Forgive me if that sounded biased. Where I grew up, there would be guys who's english you couldn't understand unless you spent a day or two with them!

Under Tex-mex slang Wikipedia gives some background on Tex-Mex phraseology with a partial list of "coined" words.
Also, you can Google "Tex-Mex slang dictionary" for a fairly comprehensive vocabulary reference source... |
