Does spanish have a distinctive sound?

Question

a sound that you can detect?? like French and Italian accents for example....
i am a native spanish speaker so i cant tell but i am curios to know that ..

I am talking about Spoken Spanish

This is a confusing question lol.. For example in a situation where you hear two people speaking in Spanish.. can you rapidly detect its disticntive sound or pronounce once you heard it?

Answer 1

I speak Spanish every day.Yes Spanish is quite a bit different from Italian,Portugeese and French. In Spanish we have the sound of --Jota-- in words like -hijo,Mexico and Argentina.It is a gutteral sound.The other 3 languages do not have it.

Answer 2

Yes! It has tonal words. Their called diacritics like áéíóú ñ ü
Like Qué means What and Que means That... If that's what you're asking? Or are you asking for unusual letters not in the English Alphabet like Ñ ñ, the word Araña/Spider. It's actually pronounced (nya) like Piñata that is Piniata
