Salvadoran Spanish is known for its use of “vos” as the primary second-person singular pronoun. It has a relatively slow pace compared to neighboring dialects. The dialect incorporates many indigenous Pipil words and uses distinctive slang terms like “cerote” (dude). The expression “¡Qué ondas!” (What’s up?) is commonly used as a greeting.
