Language code: es-CO
Colombian Spanish (language code es-CO) is a vibrant variant of Spanish spoken predominantly in Colombia. This language variant is rich with unique phonetic features, grammatical structures, and a vast vocabulary, making it widely recognized and respected.
Distinct Pronunciation Features
The dialect holds unique pronunciation features that set it apart. It is characterized by clear articulation, making it one of the easiest to understand among Spanish dialects.
Seseo: Like most Latin American dialects, Colombian Spanish practices "seseo," which means they don't differentiate between the sounds of /s/, /θ/ (as in English 'thin'), instead they pronounce both as /s/.
The pronunciation of the letter 'j' and the 'g' (before 'e' or 'i') is softer compared to other dialects, typically being pronounced as a voiced velar fricative, similar to the 'g' in 'genre'.
Intonation: The Colombian spoken in and around Bogotá is often noted for its particularly clear intonation, often described as being "musical" or "singing," but without strong fluctuations in pitch.
