Spanish Pronouns - Regional Variations - The Use of vosotros

The Use of vosotros

The pronoun vosotros is completely absent in Latin America, except sometimes in written legal language, in countries like Venezuela, CuraƧao, Cuba, Mexico, or Argentina. It is also uncommon in the Canary Islands.

Among the former colonies of the Spanish Empire, only in the Philippines and Equatorial Guinea is the use of vosotros and its normal conjugations retained.

It is used as the second person, familiar plural for most people in Spain, except in some southwestern regions and in most of the Canary Islands, and is the only form used by the Sephardic Jews that speak Ladino.
