I am creating a poll for the first time in this forum and would like it to remain in the Spanish forum.
Once the discussion remains on topic, it will stay open. If it goes off topic, I will close it.
It?s meant to be simple, fun, informative and allows posters to comment on their observations about the language which is so diverse.
Spanish is the official language of at least twenty countries. The history of each country plays a role in the spoken language as well as regional varieties. While each country?s Spanish is distinct; there are many similarities among the countries as well.
The Spanish-speaking world is divided by region when analyzing grammar, vocabulary, syntax, speech patterns etc. Using the same divisions the question of the poll is:
You are most familiar with Spanish from which region?
1/ Spain (Europe)
2/ Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico (Caribbean)
3/ Mexico (North America)
4/ Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama (Central America)
5/ Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela (Northern Andes region)
6/ Peru, Bolivia (Andes region)
7/ Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay (Southern Cone region)
