In what parts of Spain do the citizens speak with a lisp?

Question

I was taught that heavy lisps were a part of the accent in a certain region of Spain, but my husband thinks the lisp is something everyone does. Who is right?

Answer 1

i dont realy know how to spell it because i have only said it but i think your talking about "theta's" (or at least thats what we have been calling it)

its a very common dialect. it is simply a way to soften the words and make thm flow of the tounge. i and from cuba so you would expect me to have a latin american dialect but in reality my time in spain has given me a thick spainard accent

Answer 2

according to THIS source, most explanations for what's perceived as a lisp are legends without a factual basis.    the lisp is more of an accent, a difference in pronunciation, than a fault.  still, studying dialects is one of the more interesting aspects of language to me.  thanks for the tip.

Answer 3

Barcelona is pronounced barthelona.

Answer 4

Everywhere in Spain. (Sorry). Yes there are different dialects in different parts of the country. But C and Z are pronounced as 'th' pretty much everywhere in Spain.
