Hola language adventurers!

Spanish is the world’s second most spoken language with 496 million speakers globally (595 million if second language is included), and is a national language for 21 countries. There is no doubt that each Spanish-speaking region will have its own sprinkle of dialects, accents and the way words and phrases are pronounced.

Whether you're "vos"-ing it up in Argentina or dropping your "s" like it's hot in the Caribbean, there’s no shortage of delightful quirks and regional twists. Don’t understand this reference? Let’s dive into the world of Spanish, what are the main types of Spanish spoken around the world, the major similarities and differences between them and most importantly - How can you ensure that the right dialect and right Spanish is used in your content.

Overview of Accents

Castillian Spanish (Region of Spain)

Spanish that is spoken in Spain.This is the most prevalent Spanish dialect in northern and central Spain. It evolved out of Latin to become the language of the Spanish Empire in the New World and is often referred to as Castellano rather than Espanol. 



Spanish (Spain): ¿Vosotros vais a la fiesta?

English Translation: Are you all going to the party?
Spanish (Spain): Tengo que hacer los deberes.
English Translation: I have to do the homework.


(Here, the word ‘hacer’ will be pronounced as ‘haTHer’)

Mexican Spanish

With around 126 million speakers, Mexico has the largest population of Spanish-speakers in the world. When using a Spanish tts, the language is phonetically deemed to be polite and clear. If you're talking to more than one person, you’ll always be addressing them as “ustedes” — no "vosotros" here (on the contrary to Castilian Spanish).

Mexican Spanish: "¿Ustedes van a la fiesta?" 

English translation: Are you all going to the party?

(Formal, but everyone’s included, just like a big family dinner.)

Argentinian Spanish (Rioplatenese)

This dialect is spoken primarily in Argentina and Uruguay and is substantially different from the dialects spoken by the other countries in Latin America. This dialect has its influence from both Romance languages due to the mass migration in the 19th and 20th centuries. They also have their vocabulary borrowed from Germany, France and Italy. Ever heard Lionel Messi talk Spanish?(through a Spanish voice generator perhaps)? Here’s an example of what he would say:

Argentinian Spanish: "Tú eres mi inspiración para jugar al fútbol."

English translation: You are my inspiration to play football.

Caribbean Spanish

Caribbean Spanish originated from the early colonisation of the Americas by Spain and its conquistadors in regions such as Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. It has come to life as a blend of Castilian Spanish, indigenous Taino languages and later influenced by African and French languages. Caribbean Spanish is more fluid, fast and more informal. It also has lively, rhythmic phonetics and even has its own vocabulary for certain words. When using text to speech in Spanish, the Caribbean Spanish is an interesting one to crack.

Caribbean Spanish: ¡Ven rápido! Estamos llegando tarde para la guagua.

English translation: Come! We are getting late for the bus.

Central American Spanish

Central American Spanish tends to have soft pronunciation, and the "vos" form is commonly used in many countries, though with slight variations in usage and grammar. The countries that include in this region are Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. This dialect is a lot more relaxed and spoken with a great deal of enunciation.

Central American Spanish: Vos sos muy buena onda.
English translation: "You are very cool/nice."(The use of ‘vos’ would be different to other dialects)
