Can anyone explain why the Puerto Rican accent differs so much from the Spaniard accent?
I understand that most of the Spaniards who came to "San Juan Bautista" in the 1500s were either Castilians or Andalusians while a ot of the Spaniards who settled int Puerto Rico in the 1800s were either Gallicians or Catalans.
But the Puerto Rican accent is quite different from the accent of the people of Spain. What's your take?
I can't seem to put it Spanish letters & accents & grammatical marks.
Puede alguien explicar porque el acento puertorriqueno difiera al accento espanol?
Entiendo que la mayoria de los espanoles que fueron a "San Juan Bautista" en los 1500s eran castellanos o andaluses mientras muchos de los espanoles que se establecieron en Puerto Rico en los 1800s eran gallegos or catalanes.
Pero nuestro acento es bastante diferente al acento de la gente de la Madre Patria. Como ven la cuestion?
