Influence
Some words pronounced in the Andalusian way have entered general Spanish with a specific meaning. Examples are juerga ("debauchery", or "partying") that is the Andalusian pronunciation of huelga (originally "period without work", now "work strike"). The Flamenco lexicon incorporates many Andalusisms: cantaor, tocaor, bailaor which is another example of the dropped "d", example "cantador" becomes "cantaor" (where the same non-Flamenco-specific terms are cantante, músico, bailarín). Note that, when referring to the Flamenco terms, the correct spelling drops the "d" (a Flamenco cantaor is written this way, not cantador). In another cases, the dropped "d" may also be included as a real word. An example occurs with "pescaíto frito" (little fried fish), which in Standard Spanish is spelled "pescadito frito". However, the word is written without the "d" in many parts of Spain, but only when referring to the Andalusian version (in Andalusia, fried fish is really popular).
Llanito, the vernacular of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar, mainly originates from British English and Andalusian among others.
