In Spanish. Uncommon. Malaret was a "distinguished lawyer and essayist from Sabana who stood out as a linguist. His interest in the speech of the Puerto Rican people led him to study and collect the lexicon of Spanish from Puerto Rico and Latin America" (enciclopediapr.org). A fascinating record of Puerto Rico's linguistic features. Includes quotes and comparisons to other Spanish-speaking countries' usage.
