 English is the official language of Gibraltar. | |
Gibraltarian English (abbreviatedGibE) denotes theaccent of English spoken in theBritish Overseas Territory ofGibraltar.[1][2][3][4] The English language has been present at Gibraltar for approximately 300 years, and during these centuries English has mixed with diverse languages, particularlyAndalusian Spanish.[5] Gibraltarian English has become a subject of study for linguists interested in how English and other languages mix.[6] While the primary language of Gibraltarians is a variety of Andalusian Spanish calledLlanito orYanito, Gibraltarian English has become more prominent, and there has been a theory proposed that this variety of English is becoming "nativised".[6] Gibraltarian English is similar in many respects toBritish English, particularly southern varieties.
