1001 WORDS USED IN ARGENTINA THAT ARE NOT IN THE

DICTIONARY OF ARGENTINE SPEECH

The Argentine Academy of Letters published its Dictionary of the speech of the
Argentinians (DIHA). The criterion adopted by this institution establishes that in it there is no
the words of common meaning with Spain appear, based on what is recorded in the
Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (DRAE) from 2001. On the other hand, they are included.
those that are used there with other meanings (stay, ramada, cebadooalzado),
or the few archaisms, in disuse in Spanish, that we preserve in everyday use
(skirt, neighborhood, know-how to go). It also clarifies that many of the words from
The current management between us is Americanisms commonly used with other countries.
Hispano-Americans; therefore, it is not a work that only includes terms from
private use of our country.

In the presentation of the DIHA it is stated that this work includes 2342 words that are
registered in the DRAE with the mark "Argentina" and the 12 articles marked as
"River Plate", and that also contains other voices, reaching up to 3280
articles, which correspond to something more than 6500 meanings, some of the
which have the labels of 'unused' or 'rarely used'. Nevertheless,
we found words that appear in the DRAE with these diatopic marks and that,
however, elDIHAomite: compactor, facho, joda, naftero, vareo, slot machine
little roll

As is logical, thousands of words have been left out of the DIHA. On this page, there
they include words that do not appear in this work nor in the DRAE. There are cases in the
that we offer a voice that appears in one of the reference dictionaries: it
it deals with terms that are recorded there with a meaning different from the one we provide
or of some that the DRAE gives with a similar meaning and with a usage label in a country
that is not Argentina.

In this list of absent words we try to maintain similar criteria to the

delDIHA. The colloquial brand refers to usage in everyday and informal conversation;
the lunf. brand is presented as a subcategory of the previous one, with a
primordial connotation but not exclusively porteña. As I live in Buenos
Aires, most of the words will surely be the ones used here, where,
On the other hand, one third of the population of the country lives.

Finally, it is important to clarify that the inclusion of foreign terms is in

consonance with the decision made by the RAE to include foreign words in its
dictionary of the language (although its number warrants a separate investigation); and that
the appearance of words fundamentally responds to the 'order of arrival', this
