Western Saharan literature in Spanish
Western Saharan literature in Spanish is a small body of writing which has emerged in contemporary times mainly in the form of lyrics written by singers who have chosen the Spanish language as their medium and who use the Saharan Spanish dialect.
Linguistic and historical context
This choice of the Spanish language as Western Saharan songwriters' medium of expression reflects the fact that, together with Equatorial Guinea, where a more sizeable Spanish language literature has emerged, Western Sahara was formerly a colony of Spain, and the principal language of that country has remained as a widespread lingua franca.
Writers
Some of the better-known writers of Spanish language lyrics from Western Sahara include:
- Mariem Hassan[1]
- Nayim Alal[2]

gollark: I "fixed" the problem by fully downgrading my system to the package versions of about a week ago, adding everything with "qt" in the name to the "do not update" list, and updating again.
gollark: There's a relevant bug report but it just says "Fixed" and is closed, with the comment "plasma-integration 5.7.5-2/5.7.90-2 ", and others got closed as duplicates.
gollark: How I hate dynamic libraries.
gollark: I ran a broken program in `gdb` and this happened?```Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.0x00007ffff7fde4c1 in _dl_relocate_object () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2```
