Argentinian Spanish vs Mexican Spanish

Venture Out is a website for Spanish learners interested in Argentinian Spanish. The thing is, AR Spanish is not a separate language, but a variety of the language -a dialect- that first originated in Spain and came to the Americas with the Conquest.

For this reason, I put some effort in contrasting what is typical in one and other country. I already wrote an article comparing Peninsular Spanish and Argentinian Spanish, and another comparing Argentinian Spanish and Uruguayan Spanish in the past.

Today, we’re going to try and do the same with MX Spanish.

There’s an interesting thing about MX Spanish, as it’s generally the Spanish standard for people in the US due to their proximity.

And on top of that, NEUTRAL SPANISH tends to be associated with the Mexican accent. As we discussed in the article I’ve just linked to, the concept of a neutral Spanish is just a myth, as there is no one standard or neutral form of Spanish.

The Spanish used in film dubbing is a variety of Mexican Spanish that is intended to be understood by Spanish-speaking audiences in a wide range of countries, but it still incorporates distinct features of Mexican Spanish.

Indigenous influence

Both Mexican and Argentinina have been influenced by indigenous languages. In the case of Mexico, mostly Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, which contributed many words still used today, like chocolate, tomate, maíz, colibrí, loro, and aguacate.

As to Argentina, Quechua, Guaraní and Mapudungún. Words like cancha, pucho, cóndor, and mate.
