The Spanish spoken in the Central American countries (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) has been very scarcely studied, and viewed in a very fragmented way. Since the beginning of the Independency times (1821), the philological interest has been focused by Central American, on the one hand, on lexicography; on the other hand, within normativity. Thus, many tasks have been failed to be done, such as to study the Spanish language in these countries from other linguistic points of view. Besides, many persons who have shown interest in this issue have not been experts, but just amateurs, and this factor has led to works not always crowned with the best linguistic results. The present study makes an outline of the long way which has been tracked in order to come out to the knowledge we nowadays have about the Spanish language spoken in this part of the American continent. Results and achieved goals in each of the mentioned studies will be ponted out, in an effort to locate their cientific values in time and space, in order to establish historical periods along the way.
