Can you tell the difference between Black and white accents? :patrice:

Like with English-- American English at least, I feel like we can all tell there's usually certain timbre to a Black voice compared to a White voice. But I'm not sure of that with Spanish :dwillhuh: Hell, I'm not sure of that with ANY other language or dialect! :mindblown:


My ears aren't trained for it so honestly, any other language speakers are welcome too. I'm tryna find out something :lupe:

In Spanish there is no “black voice” or “white voice”

There’s a city voice and a countryside (campesino) voice. Or accent would be the better word.
Are you confidently saying that across the board, or pertaining to your dialect? Any examples?

Not really, but I asked Afro Colombians and theyt can't tell either, even though my girl can tell that R&B singers are Black.

There's regional slang that people use and I'm sure there's Africanisms like we call ebonics that I haven't picked up on.

The people of Palenque used to Speak an African dialect up until a few decades ago.
