Question

My spanish teacher is teaching us this Weird dialect in Spanish. He said it's from Western Spain, near Madrid. He studied in Eastern Portugal. He said its a lot more rare than which they speak in Mexico.

(( language ))

Answer 1

Yeah, more than Likely I'm leaning to Catalan

Answer 2

Most people in Spain speak Castilian Spanish.

Other languages include Catalan, Galician, and Basque.

Answer 3

It sounds to me like it's Extremeño, from the Autonomous Community of Extremadura (located right along the border with Portugal). They do indeed have a really peculiar way of talking there- they even have their own language called Extremeño as well- its use is slowly declining as more and more people use Castilian in everyday speech- a trend that's the opposite with the rest of Spain, as in different areas, such as Catalonia and the Basque Country, their languages are undergoing a revival with more and more people using it.

Laydlo: Catalan is spoken in Catalonia- i.e. Barcelona, in the Northeast near France.

And it's probably not Gallego either- seeing as it's widely spoken and Galicia is not due west of Madrid or due east of Portugal.

And RK: in the USA they generally don't teach the Castilian dialect- they mostly teach Mexican. Most people studying Spanish here in the States give me a weird look when I pronounce certain things and use Vosotros.
