Mis lenguas: Jeringas and Lenguas

languages are alive, they need to adapt or disappear. In the aymara cosmovision the future is on your back, because you can only move forward facing your past. i look into my language to understand my past. What do we do with the language imposed by our colonizers? WITH MIS LENGUAS I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE ALL PEOPLE TO QUESTION THE WAY THEY TALK. I DO SO BY SHARING THE PROCESSES AND DYNAMICS OF SPEAKING DIFFERENT LANGUAGES IN MULTICULTURAL SETTINGS AND MISSING PERU

What is Jeringa? literally syringe, but also is slang for slang.

WITH JERINGA I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AND COLLECT THE WAY WE TALK.

is hard to understand the formation and use of slang in a country like peru. Peruvians use verbiage (floro) in order to complete what we want to say.

thIS PAsSIVE AND INFORMAL WAY OF TALKING, IS SAFE TO AsSUME that it IS the outcome of the 249 YEARS AND 2 MOTNHS OF OFFICIAL COLONIALISM FROM SPAIN.

OUR SPANISH IS MIXED WITH THE 50 native languages registered IN PERU.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL!

PLEASE SHARE BELOW YOUR FAVORITE SLANG AND YOUR PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE MEANING.

Thank you!

JERINGAS CAME INTO REALITY THANKS TO THIS AMAZING BOOK BY JULIO CALVO PEREZ.
