Argentine Spanish, known as Rioplatense Spanish, is characterized by its unique “sheísmo” and “yeísmo,” where “ll” and “y” are pronounced as “sh.” The use of “vos” instead of “tú” for the second person singular is ubiquitous. Intonation is heavily influenced by Italian immigration, giving it a distinct musicality. Vocabulary includes local terms like “che” (hey) and “pibe” (kid).
