[QUOTE="LTfit, post: 70030, member: 8594"] Don't know if it is accurate but I sure like your explanation Valeria! I had been trying to investigate the origin of the pronunciation of the "z" en "c" as a TH haha! And if anyone is wondering why this manner of pronunciation was not brought to the New World - well here is an explanation I found on this site:[url]http://www.brighthub.com/education/languages/articles/19921.aspx[/url] [i]Castilian is known for the pronunciation of the letter z and ce and ci as a theta -- sounding like the TH in the English word thin. The pronunciation of the S is often apical -- very similar to the S of classical Mandarin. To some English speakers, the S as pronounced by Castilians can sound a bit like a slushy whistle, but it is not an SH. Not all Spanish speakers in Spain speak this dialect. In fact, the reason that the Spanish of America does not pronounce the z, ce and ci as theta is because most of the conquistadors and earlier colonists came from regions of Spain that pronounce these sounds as an S -- and some, as you'll read in other articles, even drop the S sound at the end of syllables.[/i] Cheers, LT [/QUOTE]
