Parent arc · SA#22

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.

The load-bearing primitive is DCS + DCT — applied to every latin lyric the forge produces, including Mariachi Ranchera Ballad.
