Andalusian Spanish

The Andalusian varieties of Spanish (Spanish: andaluz [andaˈluθ, -ˈlus]; Andalusian: [ãndaˈluʰ, -ˈlʊ]). are spoken in Andalusia, Ceuta, Melilla, and Gibraltar. They include perhaps the most distinct of the southern variants of peninsular Spanish, differing in many respects from northern varieties, and also from Standard Spanish. Due to the large population of Andalusia, the Andalusian dialect is the second most spoken dialect in Spain, after the transitional variants between Castilian and Andalusian (i.e. the dialects of Toledo, Ciudad Real, Albacete, Cáceres, Badajoz and roughly the southern half of Madrid).
