Spanish & Buenos Aires
Porteños (people of Buenos Aires) are as passionate and multifaceted as their native language, and it is reflected in their daily life, culture, and traditions. Spanish from Argentina is unique from the Spanish spoken in the rest of Latin America; its combination of local vocabulary and slang, plus an influence of Italian pronunciation, is a direct result of its heavy European roots.
