Bozal Spanish is an extinct Spanish-based creole language that is a mixture of Spanish and Congolese with Portuguese influences.Bozal Spanish was spoken by African slaves in Puerto Rico and Cuba and other areas of South and Central America from the 1600s up until its possible extinction at around 1850. Although Bozal Spanish is extinct as a language its influence still exists. For instance many Kongo words are found in the lexicon of the Puerto Rican dialect of Spanish.
