Latin Lyric System
“A dialect is OWNED, not ASSEMBLED.”
Latin spans Mexican / Reggaeton / Iberian / Pan-Latin lanes — 17 substyles total. The Dialect Consistency Score detects cross-region marker conflicts (a Mexican corrido that drops Puerto Rican slang). DCT (Haiku-judged) catches "Tourist Spanish" — output that reads as someone who studied the region from outside. Coherence beats coverage.

Polvo en la Carretera
A man watches his lover's truck disappear into dust on a mountain road. The engine sound fades but the ache stays sharp. Write from the perspective of someone who knows he'll never hear her voice again.
A corrido about three brothers who crossed into dangerous territory and never came back. The mother waits. Frame it as a ghost-song, already knowing the ending.
He shows up at midnight with flowers. She won't open the door. Capture the exact moment trust breaks—the silence between his knock and her refusal.
A banda song about a river that floods and takes a man's land, his livelihood, everything. The flood is both literal and metaphorical—life's crushing force.
