Primary dialects of Spanish
Chilean Spanish (Spanish: español chileno[2] or castellano chileno) is any of several varieties of the Spanish language spoken in most of Chile. Chilean Spanish dialects have distinctive pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and slang usages that differ from those of Standard Spanish.[3] Formal Spanish in Chile has recently incorporated an increasing number of colloquial elements.[4]
The Royal Spanish Academy recognizes 2,214 words and idioms exclusively or mainly produced in Chilean Spanish, in addition to many still unrecognized slang expressions.[5]
Alongside Honduran Spanish, Chilean Spanish has been identified by various linguists as one of the two most divergent varieties.[4]
