Colombian Spanish
–
Colombian Spanish is a grouping of the varieties of Spanish spoken in Colombia. The term is of more geographical than linguistic relevance, since the dialects spoken in the regions of Colombia are quite diverse. The speech of coastal areas tends to exhibit phonological innovations typical of Caribbean Spanish, the Caro and Cuervo Institute in Bogotá is the main institution in Colombia promoting the scholarly study of the language and literature of both Colombia and Spanish America generally. The educated speech of Bogotá, a generally conservative variety of Spanish, as in most American dialects, also, Colombian Spanish has yeísmo. The exception to yeísmo is the speech of Santander and around Pasto. Until the twentieth century, most Andean Colombian dialects maintained /ʎ/, common to all of Hispanic America, the Canary Islands and most of Andalusia, Colombia has seseo, making cocer/coser or abrazar/abrasar homophonous. This phonetic trait is to be associated with a number of northern Spanish settlers in Andean Colombia. The voiced consonants /b/, /d/, and /ɡ/ are pronounced as stop consonants after, thus pardo, barba, algo, peligro, desde —rather than the, of Spain and the rest of Spanish America. A notable exception is Nariño Department and most Costeño speech which feature the soft, like most Spanish dialects, standard Colombian Spanish has five vowels, two high vowels, two mid vowels and one open vowel. However, vowel shifts, reductions, and breaking have taken place in many of Colombias populous regions, particularly in Bogotá and the Paisa region. This means that in Colombian Spanish there may also be a number of vowels. Characteristic regional usages of pronouns include voseo in the Paisa Region and the Valle del Cauca Department, in the Eastern Highland where Bogotá is located, voseo was current until the 19th century, after which it began to decline. There are marked differences in the use of personal pronouns between the highland and coastal varieties. The highland varieties have overall pronominal rates of approximately 22-26%, the coastal varieties have higher pronominal rates. For instance the overall rate in Barranquilla is 34. 2%. In Colombian Spanish, the diminutive forms -ico, -ica are often used in words whose stem ends with t and this is often seen in Cuban, Venezuelan, and Costa Rican Spanish as well. The diminutive form can be applied not only to nouns, as above, ahora → ahorita, and even to prepositions, junto a → juntico a. Redundant diminutives, The diminutive ending can be applied to both the noun and the adjective in the phrase, el chocolate caliente → el chocolatico calientico
