Is there any dialect in Spain that is as rustic as Puertorican Spanish?

Answer 1

The Puertorican dialect replaces R's with L's. It is not considered rustic, just different. Spanish is a term the western world applied to what really was called Castellano in Spain. When you study English in the US, it's English composition. When you study Spanish in Latin America it's actually called Castellano. All countries, including Puerto Rico, have Clase de Castellano in school to go over proper "Spanish" as we call it here in the US. All countries have different dialects, and people from each country can tell they are from a different country similar to how we can tell if someone comes from the South or the North of the US. Each country may call the other country's dialect "rustic" but it is not, just different. If you go to Spain, you will find many other languages, as Castellano (or our Spanish) is but one of the languages found there. Because the Conquistadores came from modern day Portugal and Spain, and the Queen of Castil wanted the new world to learn her family's language, grammar books were developed and sent. This has caused the western hemisphere to have a more pure dialect because of the effort to teach and maintain. In Spain, there has been an evolution of language, where instead of saying the s sound for ci or ce combinations they say the "th" sound. Also instead of using ustedes for you all they use vosotros. It is common knowledge that the Colombian accent is the most pure, in fact, when hiring for television or radio a Colombian accent is perferred and most understood by all countries.
