This study examines the potential of phylogenetic analysis in the classification and comparison of Spanish contact varieties, with special focus on three Afro-Hispanic varieties spoken in South America. Our analysis is based on typological and dialectal comparative data. The results of the phylogenetic analysis show clear clusters of standard varieties and creole varieties, while the placement of other contact varieties in the network has to be interpreted in the light of the data collection methods and socio-historical information about the varieties.
Keywords: Afro-Hispanic, classifications, Spanish-based creoles, Spanish varieties
