- Spanish is a European colonial language that continues to be imposed on indigenous peoples of (what is now known as) the Americas
So let’s stop pretending that linguistic purity is a moral high ground—it’s just another mask for power.

Españoles Peninsulares say and truly believe that we in Latin America dont speak Spanish... And we don't. If you compare differences between other languages like Catala and Portuguese.

so no we dont speak the same language and we are proud of that. Even between ourselves we dont speak the same language. Yes I can communicate with a Argentinian but I dont speak like them nor I want to. I dont want to call You "vos" instead of "Tu".
