	Spanish dialects and varieties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Rioplatense is applied to the particular dialect, spoken around the mouth of the River Plate (Río de la Plata) and the lower course of the Paraná River, where vos is always used, with verb conjugations that resemble those of the Castilian second person plural.
		In Argentina and Uruguay (Rioplatense Spanish), the compound past tense is used rarely, most notably when the action has been finished recently, to stress its immediacy, much like the present perfect in English, but even in those cases the simple past tense is prevalent.
		Others have pointed out that Mexican Spanish is tending towards stress timing and concomitant vowel reduction, and that this is likely to be caused by the influence of geographically close English of the United States and strong economic and social-cultural ties between the two countries.

		I initially learned textbook Latin American Spanish (with a heavy Mexican influence, with the obvious proximity to Mexico and my contact with native Spanish speakers who I practiced with) but my Spanish is now highly Argentinized as a result of the semester I spent abroad in Buenos Aires last year.
		Spanish, I would say even more salient than vocabulary is the Italian intonation of Arg.
		Altho varying Spanish dialects use almost identical standard orthography, it's clear that even a cursory look at a dialect's phonology and some lexical characteristics shows that as time goes on, Spanish dialects are not surprisingly diverging, altho still usually mutually intelligible.
