LANGUAGE IN GIBRALTAR

English is Gibraltar's official language. Citizens who grew up on the rock also speak Spanish as their second language. Beside English and Spanish which are spoken by the majority of people, there are also some residents who speak Arabic.

Gibraltarians have their own dialect, Llanito, which is widely spoken and a mixture between Andalusian Spanish and English. Moroccan, Tunisian Arabic, Genoese Italian, Ladino, Hebrew and Maltese influences make this dialect unique. Over 500 words descend from Geonese and Hebrew. Gibraltarians sometimes even call themselves "Llanitos" or "Llanis".

For those who speak both, Spanish and English, Llanito sounds as if languages are being switched in the middle of the sentence.

Refined distinctions within the language are also common, especially between the younger and the older generation. "Un boby" and "la palma" are both words to say "police-man". Here are some other examples of the Llanito dialect:

Llanito: Hay un call pa ti.
Spanish: Hay una llamada para ti.
English: There's a call for you.

Llanito: I'm telling you que no puede…
Spanish: Te digo que no puedes…
English : I'm telling you, you can't…
