Is there a such thing as an Indigenous (Native Indian) Spanish Accent.?

Question

I know that places like Mexico, Central America, Bolivia etc. have many indigenous people. I'm curious as to how they've affected the style of Spanish spoken in those areas. I know that the English spoken in parts of the Carribbean have a unique sound because it has significant West African influence. The English spoken in Australia however sounds closer to British English because there were not enough non English speaking people to have a big affect on their accents. Do indigenous Guatemalans speak with an accent similar to indigenous Bolivians? Do most white Mexicans speak with indigenous accents or do they sound more like West Europeans? There aren't any English speaking countries with majority indigenous populations, so I'm having a hard time identifiying the accent.

Answer 1

Spanish has scores of regional accents, and even regional words based on indigenous words. Try asking for "cacahuetes" in Spain, and people will assume you're from Mexico, because it's an Aztec word.
Indigenous North Americans are even more linguistically varied than Europeans, so Maya, Quechua, Tlaxcalteca and Nahua people all have different accents. Also, as you mentioned, places with significant non-indigenous peoples have those factors added in. For every slave shipped to the US from Africa, seven went to Brazil. As a result, Brazilian Portuguese changes depending on where you are in Brazil.
In the case of Spanish, the variety even goes as far as phonemes. In Spain, the 'z'and 'c' are pronounced 'th'. Not so in Latin America. At the time of the Spanish invasion of the Americas, the 'x' sound was pronounced 'sh'. Verbs are conjugated differently in Mexico, Spain and South America's southern cone.

So the answer to your question is yes, but not in the singular sense.

Peace.

Answer 2

Mexicans doesnt speak like ppl from Spain but we (I'm mexican) have our own mexican accent and there are different accents along Mexico... like the norteño one (north of mexico) or the sonsonete (at Mexico city) but this one is mostly notorious at low classes of that zone which is in the majority indigen or with a bigger idigen %%. And almost each Latin American country has their own accent but the most different one in my opinion is the one spoken in Argentina which is way different to the ones at other latin countries.

Rate my answer :)

Mexicans (we) are having our own entonation that is a complete mixture of Spanish, Nahuatl, Zapoteco, Olmeca and many other indigenous cultures with some things from the USA between the rich people.
