How understandable is this dialect? Is it more like European or American(Carribean?) variatons?
I'd consider that it should be very distinct if taking into account that there are practically no people of Spanish descent. Edited by paparaciii on 10 August 2009 at 2:02pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Completely understandable for any native, I can't compare it to any other "flavour" of Spanish I just can say it has a very distinctive African sound. Here are some samples, these are not spontaneous speeches but you can see they speak plain Spanish over there: Findjapi El libro 1/2 El libro 2/2 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ok but as I understand Spanish is not their native language and not the everyday communication tool..

In Spain I had some friends from Equatorial Guinea. When they first arrived in Spain they spoke perfect Spanish. If it weren't for their appearance one would have thought they were Spaniards. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, considering that Equatorial Guinea only gained its independence from Spain in 1968. It's nice that there actually is another Spanish speaking country that uses vosotros and distinción.
