Notes
a. In yeísmo dialects, castellano is pronounced [kasteˈɟʝano].
b. Note that in English, "Castilian" or "Castilian Spanish" may be understood as referring to European
Spanish (peninsular Spanish) to the exclusion of dialects in the New World or to Castilian Spanish to
the exclusion of any other dialect, rather than as a synonym for the entire language.
