On the border between California, U.S.A. and Baja California, Mexico, there are examples of portmanteaux. There are the cities of Calexico, Calif. and Mexicali, B.C., whose names come from the words "California" and "Mexico". Another example is Spanglish, the language that many people speak along the Mexico-U.S.A. border.
