Thank you. Very informative. Seems to me that Andalusia had a very strong influence on the Spanish of Latin America. - gabacholoco, Oct 12, 2010

Strong influence? For about two centuries, ships departed to America only from Sevilla, in Andalusia. It is no coincidence that many Andalusians pronounce Z as S. - lazarus1907, Oct 12, 2010

Lo de "No ni ná" is the best I've heard in a long time. - cogumela, Oct 12, 2010

The "No ni na" part is brilliant! - lazarus1907, Oct 12, 2010

Answer 1

It's wonderful, charming and educational. The Andalusian sir express himself with amazing clarity. Even so, please, English speakers don't feel bad if you do not fully understand. It's quite complicated.

I found it very interesting what he is saying about the difference between "dialect" and "talks groups" and how he explains the phonetic richness. I also was amused that he have nicknamed this vast diversity as "Bullería that it has only just begun." He is right! A great video.

Personally I understood every word. I have a harder time understanding Castellano. - gabacholoco, Oct 12, 2010

but gabacho, that man spoke in clear Spanish! - mediterrunio, Oct 12, 2010

OK What I meant to say it that I have a harder time understanding those who use ceseo. - gabacholoco, Oct 13, 2010

Answer 2

Very interesting. It's the first time that I've heard a native speaker mingle the 'seseo' with the "distinción".

Have you seen the second one? - lazarus1907, Oct 12, 2010

Of course! - samdie, Oct 13, 2010
