Uruguayan Spanish
Uruguayan Spanish (Spanish: "Español uruguayo" or "castellano uruguayo") is the variety of Spanish spoken in Uruguay and by the Uruguayan diaspora. Uruguayan Spanish is recognized as a variety of Rioplatense Spanish. Tuteo and voseo. The variety of Spanish used in Montevideo and the whole southern region of the country exhibits use of the voseo form of address, with the pronoun "vos" instead of the "tú" form. In other areas of the country, "tú" is more commonly used than "vos." In some places, "tú" is used, but with the conjugation corresponding to "vos", as in: "tú tenés", instead of  tú tienes (tuteo) or "vos tenés" (voseo). Tuteo is much more commonly used in Rocha and in some parts of Maldonado. The formal pronoun "usted" is used in very formal contexts, such as when speaking to government authorities. Vocabulary.
