It is the most prominent dialect to employ voseo in both speech and writing. Many features of Rioplatense are also shared with the varieties spoken in south and eastern Bolivia, and Paraguay.
Intonation
changeThis dialect is often spoken with an intonation resembling that of the Neapolitan language of Southern Italy, but there are exceptions.
