Equatorial Guinea (Malabo / African Spanish)
Reference-quality preset: a phonetic matrix and a short blurb, not a full flagship build-out. See a flagship variety (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Panama) for situations, cultural context, sayings, and a guided path.
Equatorial Guinea · Malabo
The only Spanish-official variety native to Sub-Saharan Africa: /b d g/ resist lenition, coda /s/ shows none of the aspiration common across Latin America, and a Bantu-substrate prosody gives it a distinct, level, syllable-timed cadence unlike any American or Peninsular variety.
