Latin American Spanish Translation Services

Spanish is, of course, the language spoken throughout all the countries of the Southern and Central Americas, except as most people know, Brazil.

The Spanish in the Americas though is slightly different to the Castilian Spanish spoken in Spain. The difference though, is not as wide as some people believe; the various Latin American dialects and Castilian are perfectly mutually intelligible.

The main differences are ones of pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.

• Pronunciation differs even between countries within Latin America but some examples are; the z pronounced in Spanish as “th” but “s” in Latin and the dropping of “s” in some regions, making está into etá.
• Grammar differs from country to country, but one example is of the usage of the plural of the pronoun tú (in Castilian the plural would be vosotros), in Latin this is often substituted for Ustedes (the Castillian polite plural).
• Examples of vocabulary are the use of words not existent in Castillian, and the use of Spanish words to mean something completely different than in Castillian.
