Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Castilian Spanish refers to the variety of Peninsular Spanish spoken in northern and central Spain or as the language standard for radio and TV speakers.

This topic is limited to linguistic questions only regarding grammar, vocabulary... But to answer your question, nothing.

  • It's the Spanish spoken in its birthplace.

  • Distinction between the phonemes /θ/ and /s/ (distinción vs. seseo and ceceo).

  • Other phonetic differences (for example, in Castilian 'Atlántico' is said as 'At-lán-ti-co', whereas in Latin America it's said 'A-tlán-ti-co').

  • Distinction between the informal second person of the plural (vosotros) and the formal second person of the plural (ustedes).

  • Differences regarding vocabulary (in Castilian the word for 'car' is 'coche' whereas in Latin America 'auto' or 'carro' is used instead, although 'carro' in Castilian is a different word).

  • Little to no influence from Native American languages.

  • Differences regarding past verb tenses used depending on the situation (past compound 'Ya he llegado' ['I have arrived'] vs past simple 'Ya llegué' ['I arrived']).

  • Different slang.
