Panamanian Spanish



Panamanian Spanish is geographically defined as the form of Spanish spoken in the country of Panama in Central America.
The variations among different speaker groups of the same language can be lexical (vocabulary), phonological (pronunciation),morphological (word forms), or in the use of syntax (grammar).
HistoricallyPanama and Colombia were part of the same political entity. Colombia, governed from the Real Audiencia of Panamaduring the 16th century, then part of Castilla de Oro, with its capital in Panama, during the 17th century, and after independence from Spain, Panama voluntarily became part of the Republic of Gran Colombia along with Venezuela and Ecuador, with its capital in Bogota. From the colonial times and periods and also during most of the 19th century and until 1903, and even though there are still lexical similarities shared by the two countries (e.g., pelao in both Colombia and Panama means "kid" or "child"), phonetically Panamanian Spanish is more closely associated with the Spanish as spoken in the coastal areas around the Caribbean, specificallyCubaPuerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Atlantic coast of Colombia and Venezuela.

The name "ganchito verde" for this icon come from Spanish. In Panama and other place in America, to this image call "ganchito verde". "Green little hoock" can be the traslete for "ganchito verde".

This emblem is similar to a hock. It´s curios that the people can do this interpretation for this image with a meaning very decisive. 

It´s true that if you see this icone the first time seem to a hoock. 

For me, if you are ok with something, you can say "ganchito verde". Now you know because this words are very important for the people.
