Peninsula Yucatan Spanish is an organic part of the Spanish-speaking world and at the same time an independent language unit, possessing its own feature set and representing a special linguistic and culturological phenomenon.

As the language development is continual, there appear new elements, which, at first, are accepted by one community before becoming standard.
