This detailed guide tells you all you need to know about the accents which people have across Spain’s regions. In general terms, Spanish accents (those from the Spanish territory, not Latin America) can be divided into two categories: northern (septentrional) and southern (meridional). The following map of Spain groups Spanish accents, with the colour scheme helping to explain which ones are similar and which are unique. Southern accents are considered low-class, uneducated and unprofessional, although in some cases this can apply to all marked regional accents. On the flipside, a 2012 survey found that Spaniards’ favourite accents were first the Canary accent followed by the Andalusian.
