| Summary: | This article carries out a parallel analysis of neocriollo, the imaginary language conceived by Xul Solar, and portunhol selvagem, a literary language whose epicenter is located at the Triple Frontier (between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) and which, since the mid-1980s, has been used in the southern border of Brazil. We conclude that, although both languages are characterized by their instability and by the lack of a grammar that could settle them —they don’t share formal features—, they can still be located within the same genealogy, insofar as, by merging the imperial languages and infecting them with Guarani, they disturb the colonial order established by the Treaty of Tordesillas, functioning thus as a utopian geopolitical proclamation. |
