>uhm we don't speak spanish we speak castillanowhy are latams like this
>>200108516they are buckbroken, Castilla is the originary region but the Spanish Empire is what effectively spread the language
>>200108516You are latinamerican.>>200108562All of us speak Spanish but you particularly speak Castillian or Spanish from Spain.
>>200108516we don't say thisspaniards do tho
>>200108516Saying you speak Spanish is retarded. That's like saying we speak British not English.
>>200108516Calling it castellano is basically deprecated nowadays desu, al least in Chile
>>200108516>why are latams like thisI've literally never heard someone from Latin America say that. It's probably Manolos who are saying it.
>>200111278My father is 58yo and he always refers to it as "o castelhano" idk why, tho
>>200111323does he happen to be a che guevara fanboy
>>200111448Nope, completely bolsonaro nutjob neocon, i live in noroeste, most old folks here aren't much into communismBut i see they're more integrated in latam culture than younger folks, especially judging their jargon
>>200109456No, Castillian doesn't mean it's from Spain, we call it that because the Spaniards that came here usually spoke something other than Castillian too, they found calling that language Spanish offensive. In colonial times many straight up did not speak Castillian at the time they arrived here.
>>200108516It's the same thing, maybe it would sound weird for a foreigner to say Castellano but it reads the same from a local.
It’s called being mindful of all the Galician-, Catalan-, and Basque-speaking Latin Americans, chud
