Regional dialect

Spain

ROSALÍA is from Sant Esteve Sesrovires in Catalonia, and her Spanish reflects Peninsular Castilian with subtle Catalan phonological influence. Key features include distinción — 'c' and 'z' before 'e/i' are pronounced with a 'th' sound, kept entirely separate from 's', unlike the seseo merger found across all of Latin America. Peninsular Spanish uses 'vosotros' for second-person plural (with endings like '-áis', '-éis'), a form absent from Latin American varieties. Catalan influence may surface in certain vowel qualities and intonation contours, as Catalan is a co-official language in Catalonia and widely spoken alongside Spanish.
