| Summary: | This article presents a panorama of some of the most general characteristics of
Colombian Spanish, especially at phonological, morphological and syntactic levels. We
begin with a contextualization of existing studies about Spanish in Colombia, along with
a characterization of the average Colombian Spanish speaker. Secondly, following the
diatopical division stated by Montes (1982), a reference to the linguistic peculiarities of
each superdialect is made. Finally, we present the features of the Spanish spoken in areas
that have contact with indigenous languages, and pending matters for further research
regarding the different contact and diatopic varieties of Spanish in Colombia.
