Spain (Andalusia, Seville)
Spain · Seville / Western Andalusia
Western Andalusia (Seville) is a seseo zone within Spain: c/z merge with s rather than staying distinct as [θ]. Coda /s/ weakening goes past aspiration all the way to outright deletion in casual Sevillian speech -- further along the same lenition path than the aspirating-only Caribbean varieties it helped seed centuries ago -- and intervocalic /d/ elides on top of that.
