-The \textsf{Spanglish} ``language'' is a compromise between the use of the
-Spanish language in writing and English mathematical support for LaTeX.
-You may see it as a form of Spanish text with English mathematics
----or viceversa.
-
-Therefore, there are no Spanish mathematical features supported (no accented
-operators, no decimal comma), and there is (probably less than) minimal
-Spanish language support for text,
-activating Spanish hyphenation, captions, date, frenchspacing, indentfirst,
-symbolic footnotes, lowercase roman numerals,
-and a few shorthands to improve hyphenation.
-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 and support
-plain ASCII input in LaTeX.
-So, in a sense, this ``language'' is a very stripped down or ultra-sloppy
-version of the ``standard'' spanish.ldf, conceived mostly as a fallback
-or a ``poor man's'' Spanish.
-
-There are two attributes/modifiers enabled for this ``language'': asc (ASCII shorthands)
-and nt (NTilde), designed to improve support of ASCII input.
-ASC activates all shorthands convenient to input Spanish with plain ASCII
-characters: this modifier supersedes the need to call the activeacute option
-from Babel;
-NT supports the input of Spanish \~n with the tilde ~n.
-Both modifiers are provided for backwards compatibility, assuming that most
-Spanish users actually choose a suitable 8bit input and font encoding.
