Sounds a lot like Czech "soft" r -- took me a year to master, and Czechs say it is exclusive to their language--obviously, disproved, thanks to your video--which is double awesome since I had never heard of this R in Spanish (in Czech they are separate letters, though). . . . . . Another type of R that sounds like English R I have heard in Spanish from Costa Rica as well as in Brazilian Portuguese in parts of Sao Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, and other parts of the interior.

It is unique to Czech in the sense of being an official part of the standard language, with its own separate letter (Ř) and all that. In other languages it is either a dialectical variation of pronunciation (Kobon, Spanish, Slovak, Portugese and others) or an extinct phenomenon (old Irish Gaelic, old Polish, etc.).

Very interesting. I lived in Costa Rica as an exchange student many years ago, and I found that they use the sibilant r at the end of words as well with /tr/ clusters. However, they use a kind of /tl/ sound instead of a trilled r in most other cases. I don't remember ever hearing a standard trilled r there. Which was good for me as I am incapable of producing the trilled r!

I have a permanent dental bridge over my top teeth and a torus palatina covering the roof of my mouth, so I will never be able to trill the "R" with all that in the way.

In Argentina assibilated r is strongly associated with a central and northern accent. I have family in Cordoba and I've noticed that middle class, urban Cordobese people don't assibilate their r's and they pronounce the "ll" and "y" like in Rioplatense Spanish, whereas lower class individuals, or people not from big cities will assibilate their r's and pronounce the "y" and "ll" like an "i". People in northern Argentina, however, may assibilate their r's regardless of socioeconomic status.

In Guatemalan, Honduran, and Salvadoran Spanish, '' ll '' and '' y '' are pronounced as "i" in almost every context, except when they're preceeded by "s". This makes for some funny pronunciation of words like "silla" (which ends up sounding like "sía"), "ardilla" (ardía), "tortilla" (tortía), "calle" (caie)... I could go on, but I think you get the point. Oddly enough, this pronunciation isn't associated with any particular ethnic or socioeconomic background, it's just the way everyone speaks in these countries, regardless of how educated or uneducated they may be. Being a Guatemalan myself, I definitely had my fair share of embarrassing moments when traveling, and ultimately moving, to Costa Rica. I had to change my pronunciation of '' y'' and' 'll'' so my words wouldn't sound funny to people here.
@luisdavilaherrera65123 жыл бұрын
As for the pronunciation of ''r'' in Costa Rica, the thorough explanations you gave on Ecuadorian r-assibilation apply to most rural Costa Rican dialects. There's another pronunciation of '' r'' which is more widespread in urban areas, but I don't know the proper name for it. Although, I think you may have heard it before if you've met any Costa Ricans under the age of 50. It almost sounds like an American ' 'r' ' and it' s used in lieu of thrilled '' r'' in initial-word positions, everywhere after ' 's' ', the rt and rd combinations, or when "r" is present before n, l, m, or s. Some people don't do this at all, but you'll hear these pronunciations more often than not. When Costa Ricans are asked about this, they'll mostly say this phenomenon isn't that common and that pronuncing '' r'' this way is considered lower-class, and even vulgar. However, I've heard these pronunciations used by individuals from all walks of life, and it's got nothing to do with class or education, it's just a unique feature of their Spanish (much like the lack of ys and lls in Guatemalan Spanish 🙂).

Thank you for another well-thought-out video on Spanish dialectology. All your videos have been most informative. I subscribed to your channel after watching your three-part series on Voseo. So, I am an American who grew up speaking Spanish at home with what I think is a dialect typical of Zacatecas as that is where my mother is from. I also grew up in a densely-populated Mexican immigrant community and encountered Spanish on a daily basis up to adulthood. Never have I been able to trill my Rs. I was never diagnosed with a speech impediment, but have noticed a mild case of ankyloglossia: I have never been able to stick my tongue out fully like most can and have no real free tongue tip needed for a trilled R. It’s even difficult to blow a raspberry! 😅 Point of all this is that I’ve always replaced trilled Rs with assibilated Rs naturally even though I never grew up exposed to assibilated R dialects. I just think it’s interesting I grew up thinking of it as a defect when many speakers use it commonly as a variant. I’ve been asked a few times if my parents are from South America when I speak Spanish by other Mexican native Spanish speakers so I also wonder if this may be part of the reason for it. 🤔 Have no problems with flapped Rs. Lastly, since I clearly don’t think sibilant R speakers all have speech impediments, and since I don’t think you mentioned it in the video, did you ever run into any speakers of assibilated R who would change to a more standard trilled R depending on the social context they found themselves in? Similar to how some speakers of Southern American English speak more Standard American English when they are interacting with someone who does not have a Southern American English accent or is speaking in a formal setting.

Fascinating insights! Thank you for your comments! To answer your question, yes. In one of the studies I read on sociolinguistics of /r/ assibilation in Ecuador, people reported that they pronounced /r/ differently depending on the formality of the speech. In formal contexts or in careful speech, they assibilated /r/ less and trilled more. In informal speech they assibilated more and trilled less. On a personal note, I know a family who speaks a dialect that trills /r/ and never assibilates. They have one daughter who exclusively assibilates. She also has other minor speech peculiarities, and I have always thought she assibilates as an alternative because she is unable to trill.
@tenminutespanish3 жыл бұрын
You said something else interesting that I've been thinking about. You said you don't believe that sibilant speakers all have speech impediments... but maybe they do, in a sense. In Latin America, sibilant /r/ is closely associated with the influence of indigenous populations. Those populations that assibilate in the most extreme fashion are generally bilingual Spanish-Quechua (or some other indigenous language). And those monolingual Spanish speakers who assibilate the most live in close association with bilingual people, so their Spanish is influenced by bilingual communities and their manner of speech. It seems likely that the sibilant /r/ in Latin America either arose de novo or spread more easily from its Spanish origin because indigenous populations had difficulty trilling /r/ (or if not because they had difficulty trilling, because there is a similar sibilant retroflex in their language.) Linguistic evolution very often occurs to simplify sounds or combinations of sounds that are more difficult to articulate. Trilled /r/ is definitely one of the more difficult sounds in Spanish to articulate. It seems very likely that the sibilant /r/ arose because the trilled /r/ is more difficult to articulate, and those populations that do it the most seem to be influenced by the sociocultural effect of bilingualism.

Thank you so much for this type of content. It has long bugged me that I could not get this kind of information out of any of my varied Latino American teachers nor from maestros estadounidensos. It is really unfortunate that language teachers do not consider the provision of uniform, and labelled, accents is important for language learners, especially in the beginning and intermediate stages. First language learners are almost invariably provided with a consistent accent model in the early years, and pick up and understand regional accents when they go to school. I still recall my frustration with a teacher who had a thick regional accent from Peru, I left the class after the first lesson. My neighbors mostly speak Mexican Spanish, or some variety of northern or middle American Spanish. I need to speak as close to them, or to an accent they consider to be prestigious, as possible. Your podcast, and others that have dealt with the regional pronunciation of "y" and "ll", has helped me greatly with this goal. My attention may have been focused by the fact that my post-graduate ESL training included several classes in elementary academic linguistics, including the EPA. Nevertheless, even these teachers were unconcerned with the type of English accent that teachers were offering to their ESL or EFL students. The cynical explanation may be that schools could just not afford to be choosers when it came to the type of accent they would accept from their teachers, and this included programs that were offering teacher training programs in ESL and EFL. I think it is rather sad.

I also can't really tell if native Basques who speak Spanish do that or Castillians who migrated to the Basque region do that and maybe adopted the "sh" sound in Basque.

I just came across this video and I love it! There's really not much information on the sibilant r sound in Spanish. Leave alone content in English! I live in Northwestern Argentina. More specifically in the province of Tucumán where the "r" is pronounced in this way by almost 100% of the population. Some people force them to pronounce it as the usual Spanish r sound but only because there's a stupid common belief that the local pronunciation is just wrong and makes us seem less cultured. Other provinces that have this distinctive r sound are Santiago del Estero, Catamarca, La Rioja and some areas of Corrientes, Salta, Jujuy, Córdoba and I'm sure I'm missing some others. Just one more thing that I noticed, your sibilant r sound differs just a little from the one in Tucumán. Maybe it's just the way they pronounce it in Ecuador but I don't really know.

I played online chess with a guy from Tucumán last year. Previously I didn't know anything about the region. After that, I watched a KZbin video about Tucumán and noticed that the people used sibilant r. I think my sibilant r may sound different simply because I'm not doing it perfectly. I'm not a native Spanish speaker, it has been a long time since I lived in Latin America, and I normally trill r's, so I don't practice sibilant r on a daily basis. I would be interested to hear what an Ecuadoran from an r assibilating dialect thinks of my sibilant r. My guess is it doesn't sound quite right to them either. :-(

Hello, I love your videos. They are extremely helpful. It would be wonderful to have sections of any book read out loud by you for at least 30 minutes longer would be even better. Reading out loud in full pronunciation of the different accents could be super helpful as well. It's easy with audio books to find books with spain spanish speakers and I can find speakers from Mexico and the podcast duolingo offers a bit of Argentinian accents. I really enjoy El Robo. But, having a teacher like yourself read with specific accents like you do on your channel, but much longer with explanations of what we are hearing and how it differs, could be so wonderful. I can't tell you how much it means because we'll I just can't. But a gazillion is a starting point. And if you well, being able to read the same passage out loud and practicing with your audio and being able to listen over and over to them, just sounds awesome. If you can't do this perhaps you have favorite audio books movies that you could point us toward. I so, want to master accents of spanish. Thank you again for all your continued support.

Thank you! I think this is a great suggestion, but sadly I'm not THAT good at imitating regional dialects. I normally speak with a pretty neutral-sounding Latin American accent, and in short bursts of a couple sentences I can modify it to sound a bit different by adding certain regional features to it. So I can model s-reduction, r-assibilation, distinción, variations in , or other regional features. But two problems: 1) I can only maintain it with accuracy in short bursts. 2) I'm not accurately imitating the WHOLE regional accent. I'm only slightly modifying a neutral accent by adding one or two regional features. So if I tried to model an Argentine accent, the best I could do is pronounce Argentine and reduce [s], but the rest of my accent would be neutral Latin American. To an Argentine, I wouldn't sound Argentine at all. So, I think that your best option is podcasts and KZbin channels by natives from different countries. Most audiobooks are produced in Spain and Mexico (most of the ones I've listened to), which is great if you're interested in those dialects.

You probably know more about the technical details but I'll give my two cents as a native speaker of an area where this phenomenom occurs: The r in northwestern Argentina has more of an airy sound while I've noticed that the accent in western Bolivia commonly sounds more like a ''sh''. Of course I know that labelling it as a ''sh'' is wrong but the sound is closer than that of northern Argentina. As a matter of fact I've noticed that a really common pronunciation in Tucuman is the combination of this sibilant R and the english voiced retroflex R . You may think my explanation is redundant because that is what the video says but in speech the differences are clear. Colloquially we say the R of Tucuman is more like a 'rw' sound, I think there's even an upper class accent in Bolivia that resembles it (La Paz rich accent?) This pronunciation is also shared in Jujuy and Salta in varying degrees with most people varying between this 'rw' and this silibant r. They are not the exact same sound.
