Peninsular Spanish, also known as European Spanish and Iberian Spanish, refers to the varieties of the Spanish language spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, as opposed to the Spanish spoken in the Americas and in the Canary Islands. The related term Castilian Spanish is often applied to formal varieties of Spanish as spoken in Spain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Castilian Spanish )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Castilian )〕 In phonology, the most prominent distinguishing element of Peninsular Spanish varieties, except for the southernmost ones, is the preservation of a distinction between the phonemes and , represented respectively with the letters ⟨s⟩ on one hand and ⟨z⟩, or ⟨c⟩ before ⟨e / i⟩, on the other. This is usually called ''distinción'' in Spanish, while the merger of both phonemes is called ''seseo''. While in the Spanish of the Americas and in parts of southern Spain ⟨z⟩, ⟨c⟩ before ⟨e / i⟩, and ⟨s⟩, are typically read roughly like the English /s/, in the Peninsular dialects with ''distinción'', ⟨z⟩, and ⟨c⟩ before ⟨e / i⟩, are read aloud as , that is, the initial sound of the English word ''think''. However, many Andalusian dialects and the Spanish spoken in the Canary Islands do not use ''distinción'' as a general rule, but rather use either ''seseo'' or ''ceceo''. In morphology, the most notable distinguishing feature of Peninsular Spanish is the use of the pronoun ''vosotros'' (along with its oblique form ''os'') and its corresponding verb forms for the second person plural familiar. In virtually all other varieties of Modern Spanish, for the second person plural, the familiar and the formal are merged in ''ustedes'', with its verb forms. Again, the use of ''vosotros'' is uncommon in the Canary Islands and only partially introduced in Western Andalusia. ==Variants== * Andalusian Spanish * Canarian Spanish * Castilian Spanish * Castrapo (Spanish spoken in Galicia, as opposed to the Galician language) * Castúo * Murcian Spanish 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peninsular Spanish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
