Central American Spanish
More precisely, the term refers to the Spanish language as spoken in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.Vos is used in Spanish-speaking Central America, with the exception of Panama, among family members, close friends, and in informal contexts.Voseo originates in a formal form of address (roughly equivalent to modern usted) that eventually began to be used among peers in Spain.Officially, all of Central America is tuteante, however Sandinista Nicaragua adopted voseo as a symbol of nationalism.[4] As previously mentioned, one of the features of the Central American speaking style is the voseo: the usage of the pronoun vos for the second person singular, instead of tú.This is avoided in Southern Central America, especially in Costa Rica and Nicaragua where is associated with bad education by mixing 2 different pronouns (tú-vos).Usted is particularly used in Costa Rica between strangers, with foreign people and used by the vast majority of the population in Alajuela and rural areas of the country."silver") is a common slang word used to mean "money" in all Central American countries except Belize.
