Spain is comprised of many regions. These regions have their own dialects, The basques on the northern border speak -basque. which is their own language-and not recognizable as being remotely connected to Spanish. As for the Western hemisphere-we here are the ever growing region of Spanish language.We have become the Lion and do not defer to the Spanish. We have developed a culture that is only reflected in the Mother tongue.There is no Mexican language- there is only Spanish and indigenous language or a mixture of the two.

Lucky nailed it perfect! I also lived in Spain for a couple of years and I speak Catalon which is what the people who are native to the Catalon region which also runs into France just like the Basque region which has it's own language to and also runs into France. The difference is that Basque does not have Latin roots and is one of the hardest languages to learn on the planet. It's origin goes back long before Latin was around! Catalon sounds a lot like French in many ways but also has some Italian intones to! I chose to learn Catalon 1st so I could understand French and Italian better then if I had just learned Castilian!

Agur= bye in Basque
Adeu= bye in Catalon
Adios= bye in Castilian (Spanish)

Oh also let me add that these 3 are not dialects they are recognized languages! Like Andalucian is a dialect not a language!

As with any country there are a number of accents and dialect variants. The Spanish spoken in Andalucia is the nearest to 'American' Spanish, as this area was effectively the gateway for Imperial Spain's traffic with the New World.

Yes. The primary dialect is Castillen, which is considered the national dialect. It is different from the Spanish spoken in Barcelona, and the northwest region where the galician dialect is spoken, as well as others. Also they speak a different language in the Basque territory, northern Spain.

Yes, Spanish originated in Spain, and evolved as it was taken to Latin America.
