The important role played by Cadiz respecting the relationship existing between the Spanish spoken in Europe and America has not received the attention it certainly deserves, in spite of the fact that this city had the Indian traffic monopoly, even very important when other ports could participate in overseas trade. We propose here a documented advance on this contact between the two sides of the Hispanic Atlantic, considering commercial letters exchanged by Cadiz agents, and the linguistic consequences that their analysis enables, looking forward to a better pre-independence American Spanish description.
