Castilian Spanish phrasebook Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Castilian Spanish is the main language of Spain.
The term Castilian Spanish can be used in English for the specific dialects of Spanish spoken in north and central Spain. Sometimes it is more loosely used to denote the Spanish spoken in all of Spain as compared to Spanish spoken in Latin America; however, there are several different dialects of Spanish as well as other official languages in Spain.
Now, the Castilian Spanish of Spain is as British English is for those in England. Just as Portuguese in Portugal is as for those of Portuguese from Brazil. The country of origin keeps its dialects and its own sounds intact. As for the explorers who brought their languages to the new world, the customs of the people and their own tribal languages had an affect to the languages brought by the explorers. So now, you have people from Latin America or the New World speaking different from those in Spain, England or Portugal.
So we wish to retain the original usage of this phrasebook relating to the whole regions of Spain where Castellano is spoken in its original form apart from the Spanish from Latin America. Particularly you shall notice all those 'th' sounds with the tongue sticking out between the teeth. Like for example the ci, ce, the d and the z get those 'th' sounds. The 'j' and the 'ge' and 'gi' gets guttural.
