Tadeo,what variety of Mexican would you say was spoken in "Amores perros " ? I´ve read "Retorno 201"by Guillermo Arriaga ,the same person that wrote the screenplay for the movie.I didn´t have any problem with his written language but I could barely understand what the actors said in the film.

Pardon me, and I'll have to check up on the facts of this when I have time, but surely "vosotros" was based on the older form "vos", which you _did_ drop, ie. "lost", at one point or other in history ? Great post btw. I enjoyed and learned a great deal from this rather complete description of a range of different perceptions, both positive and negative, where you as the writer had the good sense to just describe reality, and not take a stand in favour or in defense of one camp or the other. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks you guys, this was the sort of ideas that I was hoping for regarding Spanish varieties from perspectives of speakers of different varieties.
I still think that the Spanish of argentina sounds really beautiful and cool but I heared that speakers in Spain ridicule this accent. Is this the case. Also, is Cuban Spanish viewed as cool due to the likes of movies like Scarface and is Puerto Rican Spanish viewed as cool due to the impact of Reggaeton? How are these Caribbean dialects perceived by other speakers? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

OK, and your description of events appears logical and interesting. But apart from whether the pronoun used is vos or vosotros or something else, I was thinking more of the second person plural being lost as a verb form, when the third person "ustedes" was adopted for everybody. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
