pronunciation varies from country to country and from region to region, just as english pronunciation varies from one place to another. in general terms, the speech of the americas shows many common features akin to southern spanish variants, especially to western andalusia (seville, cádiz) and the canary islands. coastal language vernaculars throughout hispanic america show particularly strong similarities to atlantic-andalusian speech patterns while inland regions in mexico and andean countries are not similar to any particular dialect in spain.
