====== The Voices of Lunfardo ======

The Voices of Lunfardo project seeks to create an interactive dictionary of fifteen lunfardo terms that are widely used in Argentina today. Lunfardo is the slang of the Río de la Plata region (Buenos Aires and Montevideo), originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and shaped primarily by the daily experiences of working-class Italian immigrants. Many of its terms became popular through tango lyrics, and, over time, these words moved beyond tango and entered common speech, where they continue to evolve in meaning and usage.
