There are some romance languages in Spain aside from Spanish like aragonés, gallego, valenciano, andaluz, from Aragón, Galicia, Valencia and Andalucía, respectively.

Qué ye l'aragonés

L'aragonés ye una luenga romanica u neolatina, ye dizir que esdebiene d'o latín, igual como as atras luengas romanzes (español, franzés, catalán, gallego, oczitano, rumano, asturiano, italiano, portugués, romanche, friulano, sardo,...)


  1. Aragón es una Comunidad Autónoma en la que junto al castellano, lengua mayoritaria y oficial en todo su territorio, se hablan en determinadas zonas otras lenguas, el aragonés y el catalán, las tres con sus modalidades lingüísticas propias de Aragón. Estas lenguas constituyen un rico legado de nuestra Comunidad Autónoma y un hecho singular dentro del panorama de las lenguas históricas de Europa, configuradoras de una historia y cultura propias. Por ello, han de ser especialmente protegidas y fomentadas por la Administración aragonesa.

LEY 10/2009, de 22 de diciembre, de uso, protección y promoción de las lenguas propias de Aragón.

Well, if we look at it like that, then the main Spanish dialect would have to be Castillian. - Gekkosan, Apr 11, 2011
No linguist would consider aragonés or andaluz languages; they are not even dialects for some. - lazarus1907, Apr 11, 2011
Quizá los miembros de La Academia de l'aragonés, sí: http://www.academiadelaragones.org/ O la Sociedat de Lingüistica Aragonesa http://sites.google.com/site/sociedat/ - LuisCache, Apr 11, 2011
"La Sociedat de Lingüistica Aragonesa postula l’estúdio lingüistico de los dialectos constitutivos del romance aragonés que se parlla a l’Alto Aragon, i del benasqués." - LuisCache, Apr 11, 2011

It depends on how you define dialect, so the answer can range from one to several dozen dialects. Standard Spanish among educated speakers is pretty much the same everywhere, but casual conversational Spanish can be very different from country to country, and there are variations in vocabulary, phonetics and even in a few grammatical aspects in different regions.

From what I've heard and understood in my travels, Bolivian and Colombian Spanish are the most generic in terms of accent and regional influence. They use tú instead of the voseo like Argentina/Uruguay and have no trace of the "ll" sound. They don't use the distinct "z" or vosotros form like Spaniards... but it's really left up to personal preference beyond that. Like, I find Mexican Spanish whiny sound or whatever it works out to be.

And like someone said already, of course there are regional differences within each country. Just like people from Boston, New Orleans, Chicago and LA all sound different.
