Sumario:In this paper we investigate what other languages, besides Spanish, appear in the tourist linguistic landscape of the Buenos Aires Spanish dialect region of Argentina, focusing on the public writing of the seaside resort town of Monte Hermoso. In our analysis, we compared two sets of data collected in two different time periods: January 2020, prior to the preventive distancing motivated by the COVID pandemic situation, and January 2022, after sanitary measures became flexible. Although the results show inclusions of international languages considered prestigious in both periods, the second period presents, comparatively, a higher number of recurrences to languages other than Spanish.
