Do Peruvians have the most neutral Spanish accent?

interesting

Biased as fuck, a failed comedian that thinks he is a journalist.

By the way, usually the most neutral accents in spanish are usually considered to be the ones from Bogotá and Central Costa Rica, neutral in the sense that they follow as closely as possible the right pronunciation (every letter and every intonation) and that they lack any obvious rhythm (they do have one, but is pretty hard to notice).

Sounds like bullshit, especially if they are talking about the Lima accent, maybe Peruvians think like that because they don't sound like Rioplatense Spanish nor like coastal Colombia/Venezuela/Caribbean Spanish (and obviously not like Chileans) so maybe they think that they are "in the middle" (and therefore more neutral), the fact that Peru is basically a "tuteante" country maybe exacerbates that assumption.

that's why he said "most neutral" instead

why do peruvians hardly ever show up in threads about themselves?
if it were any other country, like sweden, norway, mexico, chile, or argentina it'd be inundated with posts from their countrymen

The Spanish used in movies, tv series and anime dubs is an invented Spanish accent that nobody speaks as a mother tongue and it's aimed to be used in all of Latin America, it's based on the dialect spoken in Mexico City but it's not exactly the same.

They are very busy trying their best! unlike the other countries that you just mentioned :v

lol

Peruvians don't roll their "r"

I've heard about Bogota Spanish being neutral, but Costa Rica? That's new.

Mexicans always claim that their accent is the most neutral, I guess its bullshit?

"Neutral accents" are more dependent on socioeconomic factors than geographical ones, I find. The speech of people from different Spanish speaking countries gets more and more similar the higher up you go on the $$ ladder.
Our accent (from an educated Peruvian, that is) is the only one that doesn't make me cringe too much, other Peruvians feel the same and that's why they've deluded themselves into thinking they don't have an accent. At the very least, it's not an extreme one.
Protip: you're gonna have a really difficult time finding people in the US who can speak in anything resembling formal Spanish, especially Mexicans, Salvadorans, Hondurans and the like, cause you only get the poorest among them.
In Peru, people who use a retroflex voiced fricative instead of the rolled r usually don't have Spanish as a first language. In any case, it's a heavily stigmatized feature.

>Mexicans always claim that their accent is the most neutral, I guess its bullshit?
All the Spanishes spoken between Guadalajara, Jalisco and Xalapa-Enríquez, Veracruz are very neutral but I think people are kind of biased because of the diffusion of Mexican media in the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries is very widespread.

What do you personally think about your accent? Is it the most neutral?

So Mexican media and Dubbing industry plays a part in Mexicans thinking their accent is neutral?

>Do Peruvians have the most neutral Spanish accent?
No
False
>"Neutral accents" are more dependent on socioeconomic factors than geographical ones
This is correct. Though I guess there are still more neutral accents in certain countries than others.

>So Mexican media and Dubbing industry plays a part in Mexicans thinking their accent is neutral?
not with us, but with the rest of the Spanish speaking people

I'm dumb, how do I read this?

How do you read this?

>Colombian cities that are not on the coast like Medellin, Cali or Manizales
none of those cities are on the coast, but you are right about Bogota accent being what people consider as "neutral" even though it is far from neutrality.

I actually believe Some place in Mexico has the most neutral accent when you don't add slang into the mix

Bogota and costa RIcan accent sound exactly the same, with the difference that ticos still pronounce the R as older generations of people from bogota did

>none of those cities are on the coast
I thimk you read it wrong, Thats what he's saying m8

you're right. Time to kms

I got it from here:

It's basically showing the "perceptual similarities" of Spanish among different countries, it's a very bad chart but they just got a representative sample of people in those countries and asked what other accents from other countries are the most close to the ones they speak, colours don't mean anything, and as you can see the the pattern is that the closer a country is geographically the most similar people would think that that Spanish is to the one they speak, for example people in Central America feel that the Spanish spoken in other Central American countries is the most similar to the one they speak, people in the Caribbean feel that the Spanish spoken in other Caribbean countries is the most similar to the one they speak, people in Argentina think that the Spanish spoken in Uruguay is the closest to Argentinian and Uruguayans think that the Spanish spoken in Argentina is the closest Uruguayans, etc., but there are some interesting findings for example Guatemalans feel that Costa Rican Spanish is similar to their accent but Costa Ricans don't feel that Guatemalan Spanish is similar to theirs (Costa Rican mentioned that the Spanish spoken in Panama, Colombia and Mexico were the most similar to Costa Rican Spanish), which brings us to the other pattern seen in the chart which is the unexpectedly high proportion of South-Americans that mention that Mexican Spanish is similar to their accents and according to Flores this is because:
>"las personas con estudios universitarios incluyen a México en esta relación y sostienen que este dialecto es fácilmente reconocible y se identifican con él por todo el conocimiento que tienen, gracias a los doblajes de las películas"

nice finding

Guinea Ecuatorial

They sound like Spaniards.

Unironically this
