The Andalusian dialect of from European Spanish is spoken in Andalusia. There is not a unified dialect inside Andalusia. This dialect can change from province to province but there are a series of common features such as:
- Seseo (pronunciation of 'c' (before e and i) and 'z' as a 's', or more formally: the phonemes /s/ and /T/ of standard have mixed into a single phoneme articulated [s]), although ceceo (pronunciation of 's' as 'th', or more formally: the phonemes /s/ and /T/ of standard have mixed into a single phoneme articulated [T]) still exists in some parts of Andalusia, mainly in rural areas.
- Intervocalic 'd' is elided in certain sufixes, especially past participles.
- Final 's' is usually aspirated (articulated [h]) or just omitted.
- Final syllable 'l' or 'r' may be confused one another, but 'r' seems to predominate, as in 'arma' instead of 'alma'.
- Words of Latin origin starting with 'h' in writing (that is, that have kept the etymological 'H' in writing) are pronounced with an initial 'j' [h] sound. However, this characteristic is limited to rural areas and the flamenco culture.
- Many words of Arabic origin that have become obsolete or unknown in general Spanish
