Cheli

Spanish-language juvenile sociolect from Madrid

Cheli is a Spanish-language juvenile sociolect or jargon diatopically restricted to the Madrid area, developed in the 1970s, primarily associated to the post-Francoist counterculture. It drew influence from the hampa and drug-dealing jargons, and it has been noted for Spanishizing Caló and English words as well as rescuing archaic Spanish-language words. Some popular Cheli words were actually recorded already in the early 20th century in dictionaries of argot, even if frequently with different meanings.
