Catanyol (Spanish: Catañol) is a portmanteau of the words català (Catalan) and espanyol (Spanish). It is used in a pejorative sense to refer to the mixed variety of the Catalan language, written or spoken, produced by the influence of the Spanish language in Catalonia.
There are authors[who?] who value the existence of Catanyol as a positive sociolinguistic phenomenon when it originates from Spanish speakers who learn Catalan as adults, while others[which?] consider that over a long period it could cause Catalan to become a dialect of Spanish.
