Do people who speak spanish understand when someone latino is not speaking spanish properly?
Not like broken English or a foreigner trying to speak it. Like Ebonics or a latino not educated properly to speak the language. Can a person who learned Spanish (2nd language) tell the difference when a hispanic speaks it properly and a Hispanic who speaks spanish ebonics?

I think it has to do with an accent or at least a familiarity of the dialect being used. The Spanish taught in the classroom greatly differs from the Spanish taught in homes. This is easily detected.

Answer: No:)

Depends if it’s regional words or words used by the local indian groups in their specific region that they incorporated into the spanish language.

Yes, in many spaking Spanish countries some words have different meanings and different accents; but overall yes we can tell. The tone of voice, the pronunciation of the words, and in the U.S the spanglish. Most Spanish classes in the U.S don’t teach proper Spanish, but basic Spanish.
“i am a white cuban and cannot speak it fluently, mostly being i was raised an american, but not like those ghetto mexicans” Brian I am Mexican and can properly speak Spanish and Eglish. Why do we always have to use derogatory words to describe one another, I mean we are both Latinos. I love Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Argentinians, Colombians, etc…regardless of how proper our accent is.
