Re: The difference between Spanish and Canary Islands Spanish

Bloke :

I wouldnt know about the other regions, but i would imagine its the same. They have their own languages, so its already different anyway. In the C.I. its castillian, but it has evolved into something different. It would be like the difference between welsh people speaking english with a bit of welsh thrown in, and scousers speaking english, but differently.

The influences in Canary Islands speech are, as far as ive read :

the language of the guanches
portuguese
english
terms that come from south america
