Castilian Spanish

Castilian Spanish refers to the standard dialect of the Spanish language spoken primarily in northern and central Spain. It is often regarded as the "official" form of Spanish, used in government, education, and media. Castilian features specific pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar that may differ from other Spanish dialects found in regions like Latin America or Andalusia. Notably, it includes the characteristic use of the "theta" sound for the letters "c" and "z," and employs the pronoun "vosotros" for informal plural "you." Understanding Castilian is essential for grasping the language's formal structure and heritage.
