Summary:

A collection of 1619 provincialisms of Nicaraguan Spanish, compiled by C. Hermann Berendt. The entries are arranged alphabetically, except for 273 entries that were added subsequent to the initial writing and appended at the back, in a separate section entitled: Adiciones (f. 156-203); the latter entries are not in any particular order but are listed with the page number where they should be inserted alphabetically in the main body of the text. Within the main body, additional entries are indicated on the appropriate page as footnotes, along with the page number where they can be found at the back. Berendt makes some notes in the margins or between lines, in pencil or ink. A note in Berendt's hand tallies the number of entries under each letter of the alphabet, under two different dates, apparently representing the count in the main body, and the expanded count after the section of additional entries was completed (inside back cover). Apparently this material was published as part of Carlos Alemán Ocampo's El español de Nicaragua (Managua, 1992).
