Re: Regional differences
 

where?

Re: Regional differences
 

In our pueblo Castallano and Valenciano are both spoken. The older people speak Valenciano but most of the children learn both languages. I am learning Castallano but can understand my elderly neighbour when he speaks to me in Valenciano...however I don't think he understand me :rofl:

Re: Regional differences
 

Is it necessary to call Spanish Castellano in Spain? I understand that by calling it Spanish might irritate people from the regions but do most Spanish-speakers themselves call the Spanish spoken in Spain as Castellano?

Re: Regional differences
 

It might irritate them if you call it Spanish - particulary in the areas where they have their own language.

I've heard it called both Español & Castellano around here

I'll ask one of my students (if I remember)

Re: Regional differences
 

Yes they do. A lot make a joke though, and call it Cristiano.
