Rioplatense Spanish "Rioplatense" Spanish (Spanish: "español rioplatense" , locally "castellano rioplatense") is a dialect of the Spanish language spoken mainly in the areas in and around the Río de la Plata Basin of Argentina and Uruguay. It is also referred to as "River Plate Spanish" or "Argentine Spanish". Being the most prominent dialect to employ "voseo" in both speech and writing, many features of Rioplatense are also shared with the varieties spoken in Eastern Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. This dialect is often spoken with an intonation resembling that of the Neapolitan language of Southern Italy, but there are exceptions. The usual word employed to name the Spanish language in this region is "castellano" (English: Castilian ) and seldom "español" (English: "Spanish" ; see Names given to the Spanish language).
