Los Angeles local language is heavily influenced by two things, the beach and Hollywood. The pronunciation of many of L.A.'s locations and street names, on the other hand, is heavily influenced by the Spanish language. If you're visiting L.A. and don't want to appear a tourist, keep these L.A-isms or Los Angeles slang terms in mind as you explore the many wonders of "LaLa Land."
