I'm specifically learning Castilian Spanish because it upsets the Mexican Spanish speakers.
I watched some coworkers bully an El Salvadorian women for her accent. I walked up and joined the conversation and steered it to the few words I knew were different. When I said gafas instead of lentes, or coche instead of carro I watched the confusion, then they try and correct me, then I correct them. Since it is proper Spanish I get away with it.

This is why Mexicans shouldn't bully my little El Salvadorian coworker.

There are historical differences. We basically have a different origins. Ours is not "reconquested territory". Well, it is in some way, but by the Frankish Empire, not the Asturians.

And of course the language. It developed separately. Catalan is part of the Occitano-Romance languages, along with the Occitan dialects. (In fact, there was no clear distinction between Catalan and Occitan at the early middle ages). You might have heard about Occitan troubadours.

I don't know what else can I tell you. Do you have any specific question?

TL;DR: Portuguese > English > German > French > Latin > Venetian

Portuguese - nativo. Pronúncia sulista urbana, mas imito caipira numa boa.
>Native. Southern urban accent, but I can mimic a countryside Paulista just fine.

English - to be quite honest, I write this shit better than some natives. However, I won't bother with its unruly and insane pronunciation rules.

>German
Ich glaube, dass ich bin A2 oder B1 auf Deutsch, die Sprache einfach ist uezs. (,,einfach´´ = einfachere Grammatik als Latein und Schreibregeln als Englisch. [Regeln von Englisch sind blutig und lästig wie von einer Frau.])
I think I'm A2 or B1 in German, the language is easy to be honest.
("easy" = easier grammar than Latin and spelling rules than English.)

French - j'ai étudié français pendant trois semestres, mais je ne regarde pas bien la langue.
>I've studied it for three semesters, but I don't remember the language well.

>Latin
Inter unum annum lingua latina studui. Amo, sed inutilis est.
I've studied it through a year. I love it, but it's useless.

>Venetian
My grandpa and me used to chat in a Venetian-Italian-Portuguese "mix". I still can understand it partially, I remember some words (mainly swearing), but I'm illiterate regarding the language.

>Italian
I can sing Bella Ciao without accent and I spam "cazzo" when excited, does it count?

>It must be nice to know so many languages

>>
>>61305470
>>61305703

don't you guys understand/speak Spanish by default?

Or is it the 'inferiority complex' all over again?

I watched an argentine movie with PT-BR subtitles recently. The Portuguese is so predictable as compared to Esp-Argentino it hurts. You even share the same phrases, same idioms, same sentence structure. They even use 'vos' (você) as opposed to 'tú'.

>>
>>61305819
>don't you guys understand Spanish by default?
Written absolutely, spoken only if they speak slowly. Some accents are easier than others.
>>
>>61305819
vos is not the same as você. você is the agglutination of the expression "vossa mercê" (literally "your mercy") which evolved via "vossa mercê" -> "vossemecê" -> "vosmecê" -> "vomecê" -> "você". it's a third person particle (like he/she/it), not a third person (you).
vos in spanish has a different origin, it comes from the second person plural translated to the second person singular.

and to answer your question we don't understand it by default but it's really easy to learn for us. my grandmother for instance doesn't understand a word, my father understands a bit, and i watched a ton of spanish cartoons when i was a kid so i understand it fairly well.
>>

It is a cool language, specially for Romance speakers - to understand better one's own language quirks (like the three -ão plurals, some irregular verbs, stuff like that).

But well, most interesting Latin literature is translated to the modern languages, and there isn't a proper speaking community to interact with...

>>61305768

>my grandmother for instance doesn't understand a word
yeah right
it might as well be arabic for her, right?

I didn't say 'vos' and 'você' are related. I said they sound pretty similar.
>>
>>61305281
We are usually "less friendly". A little bit less open that Spaniards. At least that's how I feel we are.
I've always perceived a "work culture", much more than in the rest of Spain.
And in fact, we apparently have the reputation of "jewing" a lot. We are business people.
Other differences might be things like eating times. We are less tied to the stereotypical Spanish late-eating. Many of us prefer to eat earlier as in the rest of Europe.
Our sense our humor is also different, in my humble opinion. It's sometimes compared to the English one.

Tensions between Catalans and Spaniards exist. There's a very big independentist movement. I'm o.k. with spanish people as long as they respect my culture (they often do not), and I'm not an indepententist because I think it's not economically worth it.
Ironically, many of those independentists are immigrants from other parts of spain (and their descendants). Some of them do not even speak proper Catalan.
>>
>>61305819
>don't you guys understand/speak Spanish by default?
Written Spanish: yup, it's easy as fuck.
Spoken Spanish: it depends. If the other person is aware you're a Portuguese speaker and speak sloooowly, you will get the general meaning of the sentence, but don't try to understand Spanish speakers speaking among themselves.

My ex-gf even tried to teach me the language, but I never bothered because of her. [But yeah, I regret it.]

Actually "vos" is part of a specific version on lat-american spanish, the one spoken by the guays and argentina.
Vosotros is the equivalent of Vós. And Usted(es) is the equivalent of Você(s).
Funnily enough it also evolved from "vuestra merced"

bruh people understand things in the context of what's happening. my grandmother is not a very literate woman, obviously. she learned how to read and write only at the age of 18. she understands spanish merely out of the context of how people talk to her. and even if you point similarities out it really doesn't matter much, because most people won't make the association automatically. also spaniards tend to speak reaaaal fast so you can't understand much anyway even if you know how to speak the basics like i do.

There are plenty regularities like that, you can even use them to help remembering the spelling or pronunciation of certain words:

Spanish LL (llama, lluvia) = Portuguese CH (chama, chuva). [Some Argies pronounce them the same as in PT, SH-like]

Spanish L between vowels (color, solamente) = nothing in Portuguese (cor, somente)

Spanish N between vowels (vino, conejo) = either nothing or NH in Portuguese (vinho, coelho)

Spanish ending AN, ON, ANO (estan, corazón, mano) = Portuguese ÃO (estão, coração, mão)

Oh and thanks too, that's perfect. I love Memrise. I can use it with Duolingo and just ignore Duo's SA pronunciation

It is the most natural and easy-going accent for me. I find it difficult that in the Latinoamerican Spanish caza and casa, for instance, is pronounced the same. Surely I can figure the right word from the context, but it's infinitely easier for me to just pronounce it accordingly.

Ceceo ftw

You are welcome m8. Are you partly Spaniard then? Or the opposite (Americans that came to Spain)?
(Just curious)

Everyone was learning Latin and Greek in antiquity. You're right that English might be the major spoken language of the future. There'll be a split of "Classic English" learned by future academics and vulgar English that's spoken by future muds.

When some country colonizes the solar system it'll probably be some Slavic or Asian country.

I'm a Spaniard/German hybrid. I'm from Florida and that's pretty common there
I've always wanted to learn European Spanish but the linguistics tensions with Mexico over here have made that less than ideal

Na verdade, o que usam é o "vos", o "usted" só é usado informalmente na Colômbia. Mas o desenvolvimento é paralelo tanto ao do português quanto do inglês, plural formal (vos/vossa mercê/you) deslocando singular informal (tú/tu/thou).

E lá se vai uma das palavras do Proto-Indo-Europeu...

Some pronounce it as usual in LatAm as Y.

oh so you're one of those self-hating pos?

We don't live in antiquity any more.. and in the antiquity people with money, aristocrats, were the ones pursuing education in greek. Nowadays I expect even a homeless man from Belarus to know some basic English phrases.

Interesting. I always thought Spanish-Americans were a very small minority.

Só aqui, tu e suas variantes estão bem vivas em todas as línguas europeias de matriz latina.

Thanks for answers mate.

Yeah, they are. Florida has a fairly large community of them though due to you guys colonizing this place.

Não sei... acho possível que isso continue acontecendo com o espanhol e que, mais hora menos hora, alcance o catalão e o francês (ambos permitem vós/vous como singular formal).

E daí você tem os italiano e alemão da vida que usam a terceira do plural pra segunda singular formal, mas nesse caso acho improvável substituir.

>>61308706
ainda há as línguas eslávicas, o grego e o albanês, sem contar com as línguas da índia

you wuz indeed, hehehe.

Ah, sim, sim, não acho que a raiz vá sumir de _todas_ as indo-européias...
>>
>>61308706
Mas isso acontecia conosco também, é possível usar vós como singular formal (tecnicamente não estaria errado). Só não o fazemos porque ele está em desuso tanto aqui quanto em Portugal.
Não podes achar que as línguas seguem uma ordem predeterminada, assim como a evolução natural, os idiomas evoluem ao acaso.

Determinado, não; provável, sim.

Por exemplo, você espera que /p/t/k/s/ŝ/ intervocálicos tornem-se /b/d/g/z/ẑ/ com o passar do tempo; que /h/ caia e suma; que a gramática siga um ciclo como língua inflexiva > língua isolante > língua aglutinante > língua inflexiva; e por aí vai.

De qualquer forma, vou esperar mais uns séculos pra me _preocupar_ realmente com isso...

com ensino estandardizado, não estou a ver nada disso acontecer durante pelo menos uns milénios.
