See also: Chilote Spanish and Cuyano SpanishIn Chile, there are not many differences between the Spanish spoken in the Northern, Central and Southern areas of the country, although there are notable differences in zones like Aysén, Magallanes, Chiloé, or Arica (especially in their accent). There is remarkable variation in the Spanish spoken by different social classes, however. It also has strong influences from the Extremadura Castúo in rural areas from Santiago to Valdivia.

Famous quotes containing the word accents:
“No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man’s heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)
