+
+The \textsf{Spanglish} ``dialect'' is in fact a compromise between the use of the 
+Spanish language in writing and the default \LaTeX\ layout, 
+designed by and for US-Americans. 
+You may see it as a form of Spanish with a lot of English code switching
+---or viceversa. 
+There are no mathematical features enabled, and there is  
+(probably less than) minimal Spanish language support for text, 
+activating Spanish hyphenation, captions, date, frenchspacing, 
+indentfirst, symbolic footnotes, uppercase roman numerals, 
+and a few shorthands. 
+All other typographic decisions are left to other macro packages 
+according to user's taste (or lack thereof).
+
+There is a conscious effort to make this ``language'' upwards compatible with 
+the ``standard'' spanish language definition, so the shorthands implemented here 
+are but a very narrow subset of the standard Spanish language: 
+those strictly necessary to handle Spanish hyphenation properly, 
+and a few extras to straighten the text a little in a Spanish layout. 
+So, in a sense, this ``language'' is a very stripped down or ultra-sloppy 
+version of the ``standard'' spanish.ldf, mostly as a fallback in case something
+goes very awry with it.
