Cuban Spanish is known for its rapid-fire delivery and the tendency to drop final consonants, especially ‘s’. It has strong influences from African languages due to historical slave trade. The dialect often drops subject pronouns and uses “acere” (buddy) as a common form of address. Vocabulary includes unique terms like “yuma” (foreigner) and “asere” (dude).
