I’ve heard so many people from Bogotá say: “We don’t have any accent, our accent is neutral”. Well… I always have to disagree.
I know Mexicans speak in a very particular way; they tend to “sing” a bit at the end of each word. Argentineans have their own way of pronouncing some words and letters, too. In Colombia, we have different accents depending on the region. For example, in some southern cities, people speak similar to Ecuadorians and in some northern cities, people speak similar to Venezuelans. But what about Bogota?
Ok, our accent is not as “strong” as other accents in Colombia and in Latin America, but… is it possible NOT to have an accent at all? What do you think?
Personally, I think we DO have an accent. Actually, I’m pretty sure I have an accent, everybody does! Yes…it’s true that people from Bogota speak clearer than others, it’s true that we don’t “swallow” some letters, it’s true that we don’t “sing” on the last syllables… but I bet we have an accent! What do you think?
