Endangered Spanish Dialect Disappearing in New Mexico

New Mexico is home to a unique form of Spanish that has been spoken for over 400 years and exists nowhere else on earth. The dialect, an offshoot of the Spanish of northern Mexico, has been kept alive through poetry, song, and everyday exchanges in Hispanic enclaves scattered throughout the region. However, the dialect is at risk of dying out as rural communities face economic, cultural, and climate challenges. Efforts are being made to preserve the dialect through oral histories, workbooks, and heritage camps, but some linguists are not optimistic about its chances of survival in its recognizable form.
