Bolivian Spanish varies significantly across regions due to indigenous influences. In the Andean regions, it’s characterized by a sing-song intonation and the use of Quechua and Aymara loanwords. The diminutive “-ito/-ita” is frequently used. Some regions maintain the voseo, while others use “tú.” Unique expressions include “pues” (well) often shortened to “ps” at the end of sentences.
