This dialect differs from those of other regions of Spain (Andalusia and Aragon for example); the Castilian dialect is almost exactly the same as standard Spanish.
It is a mixture of mainly Castilian and Hebrew.

There are a number of Spanish dialects; however, the Castilian dialect was already the accepted standard of the language by the middle of the 13th cent., largely owing to the political importance of Castile.
Moreover, the alphabetical symbol ll in Castilian is pronounced as lli in English billion; but in Latin American Spanish, as y in English you.
On the whole, however, the differences between the Spanish dialects of Europe and of Latin America with reference to pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are relatively minor.
