[Carlito's Way]

the accents from Mexico are the most beautiful in Latin America
it has influences from Andalusia and Extremadura, but also influences from Central Spain, and a minority from Northern Spain


Thalia has the neutral Mexico City accent in which is considered the ideal accent of Latin America because it is the easiest to understand, the clearest and most elegant
Not to mention that, actors from Latin America are required to have this accent if they want to make it far
According to Charles Carroll Marden, this accent has influences from all parts of Spain and even influences from Portugal






In Tabasco, there are so various accents but this one here is the one that characterizes them
This accent was made fun of by thousands of Mexicans for how funny/weird they spoke










This one is from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon (there are various accents from that city)

[Carlito's Way]

This accent is from Mexicali, Baja California (there are two type of accents there)
skip to 2:08 to hear them


This accent has influences from Andalusia, which in certain areas, they tend to change the CH and turn into an SH




ejemplo: La mushasha tiene osho shiquiyo' (La muchacha tiene ocho chiquillos)

[Carlito's Way]

the accent of a country person from the state of Michoacan
this accent was influence by Extremadura peasants/farmers who settled in that state
I always found this accent very interesting because I have never heard it anywhere else in Mexico or even in Latin America, its pretty unique and very Michoacan (lower class)





Extremaduran rural people also speak like that (of course not identical since Michoacanos developed their own accent but the influences are there)

""Cierre general de las vocales átonas postónicas -o y -e en -u e -i respectivamente: libru, grandi .... Se exceptúan en muchas variedades las palabras utilizadas como interjecciones y los vocativos: se diría "la lechi es branca", pero "¡leche!, a si te callas ya"; o "ya vinu (el) Ramiru", pero "Ramiro, dami essu". El cierre postónico provoca que los pronombres átonos posean dobletes cerrados y abiertos según estén en posición proclítica o enclítica: se dice te miru pero miralti (mirarte)."

Sinaloa accent, there are varies types of course, this one is more from Culiacan, the lower classes tend to talk a lot faster than her though, and they tend to shorten the words a lot as well

as you will notice, Northern Mexican accents tend to sound a lot more "aggressive", they also speak loud as if they are mad and shouting at you

I got curious and searched Youtube for the "acento extremeño" ... these guys do a parody of it in the beginning of the video, but what caught my attention was when one of them said "asina" instead of "asi" ... I used to associate this with lack of education or even Amerindian influence. I had no idea it came from Extremaduran influence, too.


So I remembered another relatively common word in the Michoacan countryside that I also used to associate with lack of education; "naiden" instead of "nadie". Did a search and came across this http://diccionariovirtualextremadura...os-montes.html

You can hear this old man from Michoacan say "naiden" in min 2:14, but all throughout the video you'll notice they talk the way you described above ("nomas quieru que me heredi el cueru del huevu pa hacermi una bolsita de amuletu" )

its funny because I use to associated that way of talking with the Amerindian population (we mexicans tend to associate everything with Amerindians )
I started to get curious about Southern Spanish accents, then I came across an article about an Extremaduran professor who claimed that Mexico had the highest Extremaduran influence in Latin America and that we still use words that they do not use anymore

Then I of course traveled to Andalusia and Extremadura, so I saw/heard first hand how the rural population of those areas spoke, I easily notice the influence of Extremadurans in the way Michoacanos from the lower class speak
Unlike with other parts of Mexico, where I do notice the Andalusian influence, the Extremaduran influence tends to be very little

Incluso entre el mismo acento del Norte existen sub-acentos.

Perciben alguna diferencia?

Como ejemplo:

El de Nuevo Leon.





El de Chihuahua





La Comarca





Sinaloa





Durango (de la zona serrana)

the accents from Mexico are the most beautiful in Latin America
it has influences from Andalusia and Extremadura, but also influences from Central Spain, and a minority from Northern Spain


Thalia has the neutral Mexico City accent in which is considered the ideal accent of Latin America because it is the easiest to understand, the clearest and most elegant
Not to mention that, actors from Latin America are required to have this accent if they want to make it far
According to Charles Carroll Marden, this accent has influences from all parts of Spain and even influences from Portugal






In Tabasco, there are so various accents but this one here is the one that characterizes them
This accent was made fun of by thousands of Mexicans for how funny/weird they spoke










This one is from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon (there are various accents from that city)

The tabasqueño player sounds a lot like some of the Central Americans I've met. Also a few of Mexicans I've encounter here sound like that. It would've made sense because some of them come from the southernmost part of Veracruz right next to Tabasco.

ps. I already know how Thalía sounds like. Video of Monterrey is not showing.
