What is the difference between...?

Question

The Spanish language in Mexico and the Spanish language in Spain?

Answer 1

Mexican Spanish is closer to the rest of Latin American Spanish - its a bit like the difference between British English and American English.

There are differences in pronunciation and in vocabulary.

In America, the sift c is pronounced like the English s whereas in Spain it is lisped, more like th.

So cinco can be sinko or thinko.

Latin American Spanish tends to use more words acquired from English. In Spain a computer is ordenador, elsewhere it is more likely to be computerdor or computadora.

Answer 2

People in Spain speak a different dialect of Spanish called Castillian. Some of their words have different meanings than Mexico's.

Answer 3

If you ask academicians from Madrid, they will assert that the language spoken in Spain is "castellano" (which we translate as "Castillian", but which actually denotes "Spanish") and that everything spoken outside of Spain is "castellano con acento" (Castillian with an accent!) which includes Mexico, Central and South America, no exceptions.

Answer 4

i think Spanish in Spain is "castillian" spanish where they'll pronounce their double L's literally and "mexican" spanish is where the double L's are pronounced with a "y" sound...

so Spanish in Spain would say, "castiLLLLYan"
and
Spanish in Mexico would say, "castiYan"

Answer 5

Mexico is alot of slang from what I can tell, and Spain is more reserved.

Answer 6

The same different as the british and the american english.
