Are Chileans the only Spanish speakers with a really distinctive accent? It's the only variety of Spanish that genuinely throws me off because so many of its sounds are different. Apparently there's even an ongoing shift in their unstressed post tonic vowels, although that's still up for debate. Most other Spanish accents seem to differ in only 3 or 4 major features, so I find them much harder to tell apart

>>223429664>Are Chileans the only Spanish speakers with a really distinctive accent?All accents are distinctive that is why they are accents>"really"No, a Cuban accent is just as "really distinctive", the same goes for Andalucian, Argentinian, and many others
>>223429771>Cuban accent is just as "really distinctive", the same goes for Andalucian, ArgentinianThe most recognizable feature of Argentinian Spanish is the pronunciation of ll as "sh" and the use of vos. Beyond that, most regional accents are difficult to distinguish unless you're a native speaker. From a purely phonetic standpoint, they're remarkably similar. What makes an accent sound different is pronunciation, not vocabulary
>>223430192You're wrong about everything you said>What makes an accent sound different is pronunciation, not vocabularyDid I say that was the case?
Brazilians and their constant delusion about Portuguese being the only language in the world that has different dialects and registers are fucking hilarious.
>>223430282What I'm saying is that most Spanish dialects sound basically the same. They mostly differ in a few words and maybe a couple of sounds. Chilean Spanish is probably the most divergent because it has some genuinely different sounds. That's all I'm saying>>223430335Obsessed kraut. Can you really tell Colombian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Argentinian and European Spanish apart? Retard
>>223430565If you already reached that conclusion why even start the thread at all?
>>223429664No that's easily European Spanish which stands at a big distance from all Latin American varieties. Chilean doesn't sound as distinctive from the rest.t. speaks Spanish
>>223430565I think the argie accent is quite distinct, same for the castillan spanish when you factor in that gay lispit's probably one of those things where you don't fully realize it until you actually pay attention to it
>>223430335While people who imply that are cringe there's a bit of truth there compared to sanitized languages like Spanish or media-homogeneized languages like American English. Although I agree that our language isn't the most dialect rich or diglossic of all
>>223429664They are shifting towards rioplatense speak to avoid the stigma of chilean accent unironically, it's concerning
It's threads like this that remind you how insular and sheltered Brazilians are.Culturally Brazil is a very homogeneous country, so minor regional differences get trumped up to an obnoxious level.

>>223430565>Can you really tell Colombian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Argentinian and European Spanish apart?Absolutely, in fact most of those countries have very distinct dialects and accents internally.
>>223431568Useless kraut>>>/lgbt/
>>223430192What? The entire rhythm and melodic aspect are fundamentally different >>223429664They don't speak Spanish but rather Standard Flaite, part of the Mapuche language family
Lol all it takes to make a brazilian have a melty is saying something positive about spanish or spanish speakers
