Accents

[Bluesince1979]

Do other countries have very variable accents and dialects like England? Does the north of France sound very different to the south?
And... Do old Spanish colonies like Argentina and chile have different Spanish accents to Spain, like Australia and americans do to the English?

So a spaniard would be able to tell the difference between an Argentinian and a Chilean? I've probably sounded very thick but if you don't know...ask!

You've answered your own question. They all speak Spanish. Think, English speaking Welsh, Scots and Irish.
