Compare two dialects of Spanish side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.
Bogotano
The Spanish of Colombia, internally varied by region. The Andean Bogotá variety is widely cited for its conservative phonology and is often described as one of the clearest spoken varieties in the Americas.
Río de la Plata Spanish
The Spanish of Argentina and Uruguay. Distinctive for its voseo verb forms, the sheísmo / zheísmo realisation of <ll>/<y>, and a strong Italian-influenced intonation.
Start with Colombian Spanish or Rioplatense Spanish based on the community, country, or media you expect to use most.
