Like much of #LatinAmerica, #Spanish is an official language in #Venezuela brought to the region by Spanish colonizers in 1498.

Many of the colonists were from the South of Spain or the Canary Islands. This is the variant of Spanish that began to dominate government, education, and public life.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, immigrants from Italy and Portugal left their mark, mainly perceived in the sing-song quality of Spanish in Venezuela. The languages of enslaved Africans and indigenous people also influenced this dialect, as vocabulary from each language found a permanent place in #VenezuelanSpanish. In addition, many English speakers from the United States lived in Venezuela due to the petroleum industry, which led to some mispronounced English words being commonly used.

Do you know any other Spanish words that differ across these two regions?
