Llanito is a language that is spoken by people who live in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It is a mix of different languages including English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Imagine you have a toy box with different toys inside like blocks, dolls, and cars. Llanito is like a toy box that has different words from English, Spanish, and Portuguese all mixed together. So when people talk in Llanito, they might use an English word like "hello," a Spanish word like "hola," or a Portuguese word like "obrigado" (which means "thank you").
Llanito is special because it was created by people who lived in Gibraltar and had different cultural backgrounds. Just like how you might learn different words from your friends and family, the people of Gibraltar learned words from each other and created their own language.
So when you hear someone speaking Llanito, it might sound like they are speaking a lot of different languages all at once! But for the people of Gibraltar, it's their way of communicating with each other and celebrating their unique cultural heritage.
