A few years ago there was talk of the discovery, I think in California, of very ancient human remains, long before the supposed dates for the human settlement of the American continent, which would be attributable to Neanderthals. But then it was discarded. In my country, Uruguay, a...

There´s a word whose original meaning is glorious, but whose current meaning given in the USA I learned to hate. That word is "Latino". And they surely classified Antonio Banderas as "people of color" for the simple fact of speaking Spanish and therefore being "Latino". In the USA "Latino" is a...

Look at this example: my paternal grandfather was born in Veneto. According to a genealogical investigation that I commissioned, the most distant ancestor of my family emigrated from Lombardy to Veneto 500 years ago, at the request of a monastery of which he was a vassal, to raise dairy cows. My...

I didn't know that meaning of "curtir uma onda", but it doesn't surprise me... We also use words like desbundar, or desbunde. And...how could I forget this word that Uruguayans and Argentines use daily! : "Quilombo". It is a word of African origin, which originally served to name the communities...

It is true. Colonia (and the entire Banda Oriental) was a region of intense smuggling of Portuguese and English products to the Spanish possessions in the South, which was one of the many causes of discontent of the Criollo elites with Spanish domination, since they knew better and cheaper...

Another thing: I am only referring to Rioplatense Spanish. Another matter is "portuñol" (or as linguists call it: "Portuguese dialect of Uruguay"), which is spoken mainly in the border city of Rivera, merged with the Brazilian Santana do Livramento , from which it is only separated by a street.

The text in Wikipedia does not expressly name the Argentine provinces that pronounce the "R" in that peculiar way, but in the countries of the Rio de la Plata we know which ones they are referring to. Former Argentine president Carlos Menem spoke like this (he was from La Rioja, an Argentine...

Immigration definitely had a lot to do with the characteristics of the Río de la Plata accent. Some time ago I read that a Spanish traveler, who was in Buenos Aires in the 1850s, noted in his diary that he found the Porteño accent "quite similar to the Andalusian accent." Today they are...

I don't think the difficulty in understanding the Río de la Plata accent comes from the Basque influence. In Uruguay we have a Basque population proportionally similar to that of Argentina. Many people have Basque surnames (from the Spanish and French part) and the Basque beret is part of the...

Rioplatense Spanish is my "dialect". As the map seen in the final part of the video shows, it does not include all of Argentina, but it is spoken in several of the most populated provinces (mainly Buenos Aires, Entre Rios and Santa Fe). In Uruguay, despite being sparsely populated (3,500,000)...
