This document discusses the variety of the Spanish language. It notes that Spanish is spoken in over 20 countries, originating from Latin. The language spread across Spain and South America following Columbus' arrival in the Americas. There are differences in vocabulary, phrases, and pronunciation between Spanish dialects in different countries and regions due to geographical isolation and colonial influences. For example, the pronunciation of "ll" and "s, c, z" differs between Spain and South America. The document also examines differences in personal pronouns such as the use of "vosotros" versus "ustedes".
