Bolivia (Santa Cruz / Camba)

paraguay_boliviaintermediate

Bolivia · Santa Cruz / Lowlands

Bolivia's eastern lowlands sound almost like a different country from the Andean altiplano: coda /s/ weakens all the way to deletion, voseo is standard, and the pace picks up considerably, giving Camba Spanish a distinctly Caribbean-adjacent feel -- the same lowland-tropical /s/-lenition pattern found in Caribbean coastal Spanish, well past highland Bolivia's fully retained /s/.
