Thank you!

Spaniard from Madrid here. I've never been outside of Europe yet, but I believe I'm quite familiar with most dialects of the Americas because of some e-friends, even though I never noticed some of these features like the final N. On the whole, it's very uncommon yet not impossible to come across with someone whose native language is Spanish and not understand them. On the quiz: Perú, Argentina, Chile, México, Guatemala. As for the questions: I'd say rural Andean accents are harder to understand for me. Some people in Madrid do some aspiration as well, but it's not general and this came from internal migrants from other parts (mostly from Castilla-La Mancha); the most remarkable feature that I find we've got is the final D in words are usually pronounced like Z or even S. At least I'm able to tell where someone comes from due to their cadence and intonation, unless their phonetic features are really distinctive like Sheísmo in Argentina and Uruguay.

Great explanation 🔥💪✊️

What an amazing video! It sums up the differences perfectly!

I'm from Argentina and I also aspirate j sometimes. I actually dislike a very strong j sound like Spaniards. I had a classmate who pronounced j that way and it was totally irritating for my ears. I prefer a soft j or aspirated j. I say: you eat: vos comés you come = vos venís It's the standard here. In my region popcorn can be either pochoclo or pororó.

Thanks for sharing! I have warm feelings to Rioplatense but my first accent was Northern Spanish. It is very interesting to learn that the Peninsular jota can be so unpleasant. For me, the most noticeable feature is distinción (lack of seseo).

The strong peninsular j sounds to me like someone clearing phlegm from their throat, so I can understand why someone would find it cacophonous.

It depends. I think the aspiration of the J he is referring to is normally a more breathy and sighed sound like the English H than the one we use in Argentina. I would say there are 3 sounds to the J and GE/GI in Spanish. The strong and throaty one that sounds like throat cancer, and you can hear in Hebrew, Arabic, Dutch, and European Spanish. Then there is the moderate one, that is more intermediate, that you hear in most of the Southern Cone and Mexico. And then, there is that very light one that you sighed that you hear in the Caribbean and Central America. For instance, listen to Catherine Fulop says "gente" or "Argentina". It sounds like "Ar-heng-tina, which I normally can tell someone is not from Argentina if they pronounce my country with that -GEN- sound. Some of them also squish the T sounding more pinched and nasal.

The j is also reportedly pronounced softly like [h] by most Bolivians. And syllable-final /s/ is aspirated as [h] on parts of the southern Pacific coast of Mexico and most of the Peruvian coast.

Your video is almost same as langfocus. Can you make video about Malay dialects? Such as Sarawak Malay, Kelantan Malay and many more dialects. All of them is really different.

The most different Spanish it's the Argentinian, and the most difficult is Chilean, as a Guatemalan

Algo que recalcar es que en algunas zonas se pronuncia [ʂ] [ʐ] de forma inconsciente Del mismo modo que en mi acento caribeño la vocal al principio hay una "j" pronunciada

My question now is about the "Standard Latin American Spanish Dialect" which is primarily used in Latin American Spanish dubbing of US-American & other non-Spanish language films & TV shows (also rarely videogames but most of the time there are no videogame dubs from LatAm Spanish but only a dub from Spain).

@@AuthLing Have you heard of the "Standard Latin American Spanish Dialect" they use in Latin American Spanish dubbing? A dialect they use for dubbing purposes only and nobody uses it IRL. So the question is about how does this fake dialect compare to the rest of the dialects?

Great question! Standard Latin American doesn't have regional features: it has seseo, tuteo, yeísmo, no aspiration of s, /x/ is velar [x] (not [χ] or [h]), final/n/ is alveolar [n] (not velar [ŋ]). Only Mexican Spanish meets all these requirements. However, Mexican Spanish has its regional features: tl is [t͡ɬ], unstressed vowels may be reduced (pesos, pesas, and peces may sound the same) etc. Native speakers of Mexican Spanish have to watch out for these regional features if they aim at the most "neutral" accent.

@@agme8045 I think you mixed the Puerto Rican R sound with the Costa Rican R sound haha. In Costa Rica, I believe R sometimes sounds like an English R, but I don't know enough about it. I'm Puerto Rican tho, and I can say that syllable final R is pronounced like an L and trilled R is pronounced like the French R. Everywhere else R is a regular flap. However, the pronunciation of R depends on region and sometimes social groups, so not everyone does it like me.

I think that the Spanish [ŋ] is not related to Brazilian Portuguese since it is found in areas quite far from Brazil. However, the same [ŋ] can be found in many places in Spain: Galicia, León and, of course, Andalusia. I would expect that [ŋ] was brought right from Spain.

@davidcrandall3643

9 ай бұрын

I suspect that word-final [ŋ] was brought south from León through Extremadura to Andalusia during the Reconquest, unless it already existed in the Mozarabic dialects in these areas. Portuguese took it a step further, by deleting syllable-final nasal consonants, leaving just the nasalized vowels, which can also happen in some types of Spanish in loose pronunciation.

For the standard varieties, I would agree! But some regional varieties of Spanish may be extremely unusual. Say, many speakers of Andean Spanish have only three vowels /i/, /u/ and /a/.
