Puerto Rican Spanish is a distinctive variation of Spanish shaped by the island’s rich cultural and historical influences. It reflects the unique bilingual environment of Puerto Rico, where speakers seamlessly blend English with elements of Spanish to create a fluid, hybrid dialect. This dynamic form of Spanish is constantly evolving, influenced by geography, age, education, and the speaker’s proficiency in both languages. Puerto Rican English is a vibrant expression of the island's identity, adapting to the nuances of everyday communication while reflecting the cultural interplay between the United States and Puerto Rico.

This project aims to create an online dictionary that educates users about the unique Puerto Rican dialect, which blends English, Spanish, and Spanglish. This resource highlights common expressions, slang, and colloquial terms on the island, providing cultural context and proper usage examples.

Each dictionary entry has its dedicated page featuring several key elements. First, the term or phrase in Puerto Rican Spanish will be presented under the arrow at the top right corner of the screen. This would be followed by a simple and clear definition explaining its meaning. To aid with pronunciation, a phonetic spelling would be provided, along with an audio clip featuring a native Puerto Rican speaker pronouncing the word in a casual context. Finally, an example sentence will be included to show the term in natural usage.
