El Salvador is a beautiful country located in Central America, with a hardworking people. Good descriptions are in earlier definitions. This country is also home to San Oscar Romero de las Americas, who was killed in 1980 for speaking out against violence and abuse of poor people. His example continues to change many lives for the better. Younger Salvis born in the 80s-90s have grown up in both ES and the US and bring many gifts to both countries. We older Salvatruchos/as should support them in getting an education and building values of family, faith, and hope. Much love goes to the young salvadoreños who are struggling, especially those in maras. They need to know that they are loved. Laws in both ES and US need to be changed to help them find a better life. Both the Catholic and Evangelical churches are helping a lot in these efforts. There are also Salvadroran American civic organizations that are doing great work. Any guanaco or latino who has made it in the US has an obligation to stand by the younger generation both here and in our home countries. Special thanks go to the MANY chicanos, mexicanos, and non-latinos who helped our people when we first arrived in the US as refugees in the 70s. Now it's our turn to give back and uplift the new generation. Que Dios les bendiga.

A shitty-ass country where it's always super hot and you can't go anywhere without fearing somebody is gonna steal your wallet. I was born in there but still I hate it.
But we don't eat rats.

The smallest nation in Central America, and the most densely populated country in the Americas.
El Salvador is a country that has suffered much war and conflict, and is currently enjoying somewhat of a stable political situation. Tourism is becoming more abundant, regardless of the gang situation. The notorious Mara Salvatrucha, which has its orgins in the refugees and victims of the war, often leads to many negative misconceptions about the country.
El Salvador is a Latin American country, along with Mexico. Those who are showing discrimination towards either country obviously does not really know what it means to be Latino. While each country has its distict history, culture, and dialect and must be respected taking that into consideration, there is a common thread that binds them together.
In El Salvador, they do not speak or write LiKe DiS, unless they have been deported.(1)
The correct name for someone from El Salvador is Salvadoran, not Salvadorian or Salvadorean, though those terms are commonly used.
(1) A friend of mine in El Salvador was laughing about her co-workers who are deportees from the US. They came to El Salvador acting hardcore, but the country just laughs at their Timbs and bad English.
I am 100% Salvadoran. My boyfriend is Mexican and we joke about our differences but have a mutual respect. I went graduated from High School in El Salvador, I'm in college, have huge aspirations and strong, beloved connections with El Salvador. How you doin'?

"Where are you from?"
"I'm from El Salvador."
"Wow, why do you speak English so well?"
"Because I'm not the ghetto Salvadoran people expect me to be."
