 In other Spanish-speaking South American countries, the word "" can also be employed in a roughly equivalent term-of-endearment form, though it is not usually considered to be as widespread as in Argentina or Uruguay (except perhaps in a limited regional or social context).It is consequently occasionally encountered, due to the influence of "nigga", in Chicano English in the United States.In Portuguese, ' is an adjective for the color black, although ' is the most common antonym of ' ('white').
