Abstract
This article aims to provide a general overview of the current state of the Spanish language in the United States, rspecially in the Southwest. The article analyzes the socio-historical circumstances that contributed to the spread of Spanish in the USA, as well as its most characteristic features from a linguistic point of view. The consequences of the influence of English on Spanish and their combination, which led to the emergence of the so-called Spanglish phenomenon, are highlighted. A comparative analysis of Spanish-Spanish (USA) and Spanish-English language transformations is conducted. It is concluded that the Spanish language has become an integral part of the English-speaking environment, which gives impetus to further research on this topic.
