Sometimes. Sometimes it defines the use of language or even words like
"cholo." 

In Portuguese it is pronounced chew-low. In the Mexican-American example
that S~Z provided it's a street word that refers to a home-boy,
gangster. Down where Maria comes from it probably means Indian or
indigenous person. Melville uses it in Moby-Dick (the Hark chapter ,
where it means a veteran of the sea. ;--)
