Spoken Dominican Spanish

[Lucifer]

I asked Mr. AE how to say short-stop in Spanish, and he said "short-stop" [with a Spanish accent]. LOL. He never heard any of the other words mentioned here.

Maybe he's been in the US too long.

I've been in the US for a long time, too, but I still pay attention to--and enjoy--Dominicanismos.

So, here it is, from the link donP provided:

"Uno de ellos es el diverso grado de adaptaci?n
fon?tica que experimentan los pr?stamos del ingl?s, por lo
que umpire se convierte en ampaya, strike en estrai o en etrai, foul
en fao, out en ao, short stop en sioret?, safe en sei."

I never will forget when I first arrived five months ago, the guy at the appliance store was telling me how great the GE "fr?cer"was. Also, one day at the office I asked what the word for "whiteout" was because I needed to correct something that I had handwritten. I was told, "eso se llama liquip?iper." I'm amazed at all the adaptations from American English. I've travelled through Latin America, and I have never really heard anything like Dominican Spanish. It actually brings a sincere smile to my face. I feel that the DR rivals Puerto Rico for espangl?s.
