Ummmm, who cares? This is America.
where we speak a dialect of english. American
European or Castilian Spanish spoken in Spain is the most distinct and formal. And with the lisp “th” in lieu of “c” and “z” sounds...Also use of of the “vosotros” pronoun.
Consensus in polls like these usually lead to Colombian and Argentinian Spanish being voted as the most melodic and pleasing to the ears. Argentinian Spanish has a bit of an Italian accented twist.
And that standard Mexican Spanish seems to be the clearest and most straightforward to understand.
Amen
I care...thank you. Man...
And I respect that
If it weren’t for King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, Christopher Columbus (an Italian) would have never sailed the ocean blue in 1492...
The Cuban one is NOT correct. The news lady may talk that way, but in general Cubans talk as if they had a potato stuffed in their mouths.
Some of us aren’t so embarrassingly ethnocentric.
I wonder what accent Ricardo Montalban spoke. He had a unique voice for sure.
The Venezuelans on the street try to move up 5 wpm every time they speak from the last time. Their news lady was closer to reality.
“And that standard Mexican Spanish seems to be the clearest and most straightforward to understand.”
I’m far from an expert on it but seems that way to me, too. Maybe just most familiar?
I don’t care 450k times about dialect.
Christopher Columbus was Jewish as were most of the seamen crew.
Ferdinand expelled all Jews.

Did you stop your education in ninth grade?
I was thinking that initially but as I listened more and looked up Mexican films, speeches by Mexican politicians, etc...It seems to be objective observation. I grew up around a lot of Cubans for example and they speak very differently.
Also a lot of immigrants in the US are from countries in Central America, not Mexico.
I know that Costa Ricans pride themselves on the purity of their way of speaking Spanish. I’ve heard that Caribbean Spanish is pretty much looked down upon by other Spanish speakers.
For me, the most noticeable differences are between Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
The speakers in Spain use the “th” sound in place of “ss” sound. For example, they say BarTHelona instead of BarSSelona. Yes, it is spelled Barcelona with a “C”.
The Mexicans speak Spanish with lazy sounding syllables.
And The Argentinians speak with a very distinct dialect. It would be equivalent to the way snobbish New Englanders speak English.
They all have their slang words just like english..
