Is Argentine Spanish uniform?

Question

1. Is Argentine Spanish generally uniform throughout the country? Or Does Argentine Spanish have different accents with regional variations?

2. Does Argentina have a standard, neutral accent?

If it has, which area speaks the neutral Argentine accent?

3. Is Argentine accent a lot different from Chilean accent even though they are neighbors? What about Uruguayan and Paraguayan accent? Are they all "noticeably" different?

Answer 1

The form to speak " español" in Argentinean it varies of zone to zone. For example: in the great cities as Buenos Aires or Rosario speaks with an accent different from those from the north of the country. The inhabitants of the region near Chile have an accent similar to these. The inhabitants of Uruguay have a similar accent to ours. Paraguayans no.

Answer 2

1- No, it's not uniform. The most famous accent is the "italian-like" from Buenos Aires. We have many variations and very remarkable.

2- We do not have a standard accent. It's usual that when 2 people from different provinces talk each other, they gonna find diferences when talking and one of them is gonna ask: "what did you mean with ....?"

3- Argentinian (from Bs.As.) and Uruguayan are almost the same, there's not a big difference.

However with Chile, is extremely different: you could easily recognize a chilean from an argie.

With paraguayan is the same thing that with chile, and sometimes is worse, because in paraguay many people speaks "guarani" the native languaje, totally different.

Answer 3

Hi, I'm argentina. We haven't a spanish accent, we talk with "vos" in changed "tu" (you) and lots of diferences....We don't speak neutral acent, sometimes in the province of Santiago del Estero only heard..

yes, its quite different than chilean accent. try to watch or listen in Internet a chilean and an argentino, you'll see! In change, is similar to the uruguayan accent, but is different than paraguayan one.
