Peruvian Spanish varies between coastal, highland, and jungle regions. Coastal Spanish is similar to standard Latin American Spanish, while highland Spanish shows strong Quechua and Aymara influences. The dialect generally uses “tú” for informal address. Distinctive features include the abundant use of the diminutive “-ito” and words like “pata” (friend) and “chamba” (job).
