List of official, national and spoken languages of Europe
Languages on this list written with capital letters on above list

* Llanito or Yanito is a form of Spanish heavily laced with words from English and other languages like Genoese, spoken in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. It consists of an eclectic mix of Andalusian Spanish and British English, marked by a great deal of code switching and loanwords from Italian and many other Mediterranean languages and dialects. However, it does not meet the criteria for being called a creole, and it is usually considered just a dialect of Spanish with many loan words. This Gibraltarian colloquial language can be compared to Spanglish

* Dgèrnésiais - Guernésiais, also known as Dgèrnésiais, Guernsey French, and Guernsey Norman French, is the variety of the Norman language spoken in Guernsey.

* Yenish, Yeniche, Jenisch - is a variety of German spoken by the Yeniche, former nomads living mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and parts of France. It is a jargon rather than an actual language; meaning, it consists of a significant number of unique specialized words, but does not have its own grammar or its own basic vocabulary. Yeniche speakers generally speak their local German dialect enriched by the Yeniche vocabulary, which contains many words of Romani and Yiddish origin; it also has many unusual metaphors and metonomies that replace the standard German words.
