spaniards talk extremely fast compared to latinos; I had little problem understanding latinos on earshot in the US than actually conversing with spaniards in Spain. I don't know if it's me or it's that spaniards just talk extremely fast.

>>78706540
yeah,spain spanish is kinda hard to understand to me too.

As for languages and dialects, commies in Poland unified the language and practically eliminated all dialects.

Glad knowing I'm not the only one.

Considering the history of Spanish suppression of languages I don't think that's just a commie thing, you guys were just more successful at it.

We have different pronunciation of some letters, emphasis and vocabulary.

Same happens to me when I listen to Colombians or Dominicans, not phonetically but because of their slang, they use different words.

Sounds fair though, even for me as a Spanish northerner I sometimes have hard times to understand Southerners.

>>78706809
Yeah, save Australian slang, there is no variation of English I have trouble with. I guess the differences are just more pronounced in Spanish.

It is, even between regions among Spain. Here in Navarre we use words that people in Madrid or Valencia won't understand.

We also have many phrases that have a very different meaning with regards of what they literally mean. So yes, Spanish isn't that easy.

>>78707024
It's curious how it has a different origin for each Latin language

european accents are interestingly harder to understand compared to their new world counterparts. I notice this too with Portuguese; I can understand some words from Brazilians, while I have to actually wait for Portuguese people to start counting to understand even one word.

>>78707164
Same, brazilian is a lot easier than portuguese. Galician is something in the middle.

d and g arent really used in finnish either other than in loanwords and g in velar nasal and d in some specific s->d stem morphs

I don't know why people from Portugal dislike vowels, they just don't pronounce them lol

Try and decipher that stuff they speak in Scotland. It's impossible.

I remember a story of someone looking for the name 'Pontes' in Portugal, but the people couldn't understand them; apparently they pronounce it as 'põtsh'.

Unlike what >>78706720 said of Poland, regionalism was never suppressed in Spain.

>>78707500
That's real. I've been there many times, for fish (peixe) they pronounce pshe

>>78707525
Well, the closest dialects to Castilian are lost, like Leonese and Navarre-Aragonese

I had a WebM of a camwhore speaking in Castilian Spanish, I can't upload it since it's NSFW and has sound. The accent is very soft and nothing like how Puerto Ricans around here talk (they're much sharper and louder sounding).

>>78707525
France was the first country to suppress regionalism during the revolution, it provided the model followed by communist governments.

>>78707623
which part of Portugal?

>>78707659
Lisbon all my life but all my family is from Castelo Branco so i don't know how much that influences it

>>78707623
You are just pronouncing the word. Seriously, the waiters spoke so fast.

>>78706926
Some accents in the British Isles are a lot more difficult to understand than Australian. Australian is a wildified British, so it should be closer to American accent.

>>78706540

Because it's a very different 'tingle'. Just like scottish has a very different 'tingle' to standard sounding english.

You just need to tune in to the new sound, cause words and everything else is essentially the same.

>>78707000
should be added that the "W" only exists nativelly in germanic languages.
you will technically not find a single word with "W" in french, spanish or italian. only foreign words like "whisky"

>>78706540
Some dialects in Dutch are literally gibberish.

Ironically enough Surinamese Dutch and Afrikaans (South African daughter language) are easier to understand than some dialects within the Netherlands.

>>78711114
In fact, Surinamese and Caribbean people talk Dutch quite clearly.

>>78711147

>new world Dutch is also more understandable
interesting. that just leaves French, I think.

>>78706926
No way you can actually understand scouse?

>>78706540
European countries are a lot older than their colonies, that means local dialects are much more differentiated.
Even I have serious problems at understanding some italian dialects, they are basically different languages to me.
In recently formed countries at worst there is just some different accents.
