    Default Latin Spanish or Castilian Spanish

    So I've been thinking which version of the Spanish language I should learn and use. I would want to use the original, unmolested version which is Castilian Spanish but I'm not all too sure how practical would it be if it's not compatible with Latin Spanish in New Spain.

    Castilian Spanish of course. The purer version of Spanish. I think that if people want to learn proper English they should at all cost try to avoid learning American English but instead go for British English.

    The original language is always the purest. The only example of an exception is probably Dutch since in the colonies they still use words and expressions that we stopped using quite some time ago. Another beautiful example of that is Afrikaans.. although the spelling has been corrupted (I hate the word) over the centuries.

    I'm not sure whether the difference between Latin Spanish and Castilian Spanish is minimal like British English and American English. If it's minimal and is largely mutually intelligible then I will go for Castilian Spanish, if not, Latin Spanish.

    Of course but it's always interesting how the original language evolves into something different, unique but remain similar.

    ... but it's just English you're talking about! Why put a qualifier on it? Only the colonial ones should require that.

    Kind of suggests that the forms spoken in Britain are identical, too, whereas there is FAR more diversity here than between 'Standard English' and colonial varieties.
    The original language is always the purest. The only example of an exception is probably Dutch since in the colonies they still use words and expressions that we stopped using quite some time ago.
    No. There are aspects of New World and Antipodean English that recall various archaic features of the standard in the mother country. This is almost a RULE, indeed. Whenever a language divides, you'll get bits in each that seem archaic to the other.

    Mind you, England is such a regional place that there's nothing in the colonies that hasn't ALSO survived here in a dialect.

    It is minimal.

    I'd go for Castilian without question. Aside from the fact that I'd obviously prefer to the learn the Spanish of the Spaniards, whenever I catch Latin Spanish on television etc. (it tends to be Mexican) it always sounds so...sleazy? Whiny? Not pleasant to listen to, anyway.

    Do you seriously think Castilian Spanish -or British English, or any other European standard of a colonial language- has remained unmolested?

    There is no such thing as a purest form, if by purest you mean unchanged. All variants develop in their own way, and ones get more accepted than others in particular areas, that's the simple truth. What you say about Dutch is also appliable to English, Spanish, French, Portuguese... you'll find words that are considered archaic in Europe being used in the Americas.

    First, there is no such thing as a "Latin Spanish". There are several Latin Spanishes. Better choose between either the Castilian or Mexican parastandard.

    Second, Castilian Spanish is the standard form of Spanish in Spain, but the whole Southern population speaks Southern Spanish.

    Third, yes, it is mutually intelligible, at least in educated speech. Heavy use of slang and localisms would complicate things though, just like an American deciphering a drunk Scotsman.

    I agree, go and learn the pure form of the language. But be warned that Castilian Spanish is drastically different from South American Spanish. It's more than just an accent, and it is hard for Castilians to understand SA Spanish. On paper it looks more or less the same, but when people talk it might as well be another language.

    Take for instance me; I can speak fluent Portuguese and I can have a good conversation in Portuguese. However whenever I meet Brazilians, I can hardly understand a word of what they are saying. So it may not be of much use to you unless you plan to move to Spain. My recommendation is if you want to use it more often in the United States, learn South American Spanish. But if you want the pure form of the language, then go Castilian.

    Castilian spanish was forged in the craddle of reconquista and ages of steel, honor and war, and is the original one that speak the true sons and pure descendants of Castilla or their forgers, it is "rare" since most of the speakers of spanish don't speak Castilian, but "latino" as they call it, mexican, ecuadorian, argentinian, cuban, guinean...

    When you learn a language, something changes in you, your brain (You) changes and you adquire, in some way, traits of the speakers, some kind of symbyosis.

    Election:

    A) CASTILIAN:





    B) OTHER SPANISH

    Antes de subir al cadalso, Juan de Padilla se dirigió a su camarada Juan Bravo con unas célebres palabras: "Seńor Bravo: ayer era día de pelear como caballero...hoy es día de morir como cristiano". Ante esto, Juan Bravo pidió ser ejecutado antes que Padilla, "…para no ver la muerte de tan buen caballero". Horas más tarde, también fue ejecutado y decapitado el salmantino Francisco Maldonado.
