Castilian Spanish: The Standard Spoken in Spain

Castilian Spanish, spoken in central and northern Spain, is often considered the standard form of Spanish. It’s characterized by the distinction between “c/z” and “s” sounds (ceceo), and the use of “vosotros” for the informal second person plural. Unique features include the inverted question marks and exclamation points, and expressions like “vale” (okay) and “venga” (come on).
