What is a Paisa accent?
The Paisa accent is an accent found in cities like Medellín in the Paisa region of Colombia. The Paisa accent has a melodic tone, so speakers often have a sing-song quality to their speech. The accent is noted for the use of the “Vos” pronoun for the second person singular instead of the more common “tú” found in other Spanish dialects, a feature known as “Voseo.” Another characteristic is the strong “j” sound, which is more pronounced than in other accents. Paisas also sounds fast and has a rhythmic flow that makes comprehension more challenging for those unfamiliar with the accent. The Paisa accent has regional pride that’s integral to the local identity. It’s associated with the friendly and warm nature of the Paisa people.
