Argentineans speak Spanish officially but effectively their Spanish is a mix language because includes many Italian words and expressions.
It sounds as if they would speak Spanish but without italian knowledge it is hardly to understand. The Italian influence can be recognized not only in the use of words, but also in the way, how Argentineans expresse themselves.
They communicate as much with the mouth as with their hands and body gestures and tend to speak pretty loud.
Fortunately, many Argentineans can speak also Shakespeare’s language.
