The Dictionary of Uruguayan Spanish (,
acronym DEU) is an authoritative
reference work on the
Rioplatense Spanish as
spoken in Uruguay. It was published by the
National Academy of Uruguay in 2011 as part of the celebrations of the Bicentennial of Uruguay.
With over 10,000 entries, it deals with typically Uruguayan expressions, not used in
standard Spanish. The collected material covers sports, clothing, economy, fauna and flora, sexuality, greeting and courtesy formulas, cuisine, colors, education, ethnicity, agriculture, bureaucracy, the human body, foreign affairs and much more. It comes from both ordinary and colloquial or family speech, as well as journalism, literature, chatting, blogging, advertising, as well as feminine, masculine, child or youth language, alongside medical, military, political, or trade union slang.
