Which one is the real Spanish?

Which one is the real Spanish?


An Andalusian says to an Asturian "¡cucha, andevá!". The Asturian, faced with such an amazing Spanish usage, opens his eyes wide without understanding what his interlocutor means and, with an expression of admiration and surprise is like... "Are we speaking the same language or what?"
So, do Spanish people speak just Spanish, or also dialects and other not officially recognized languages? Well, in my opinion, there are language deformations and ways of speaking that drives crazy everyone who tries to learn Spanish or travels inside Spain or to Central or South America...
In order not to ramble without any aim, in the beginning we'll focus on Spain.
So, where do we have to go to hear the best spoken Spanish? Well, wherever in Spain :)
There's not such a thing like better or worse spoken Spanish. There surely are different accents, words, slangs and ways of speaking that enrich the language and make it more fun when we speak it among us but, it's still just Spanish. The important thing is to know how to write it. If anybody says "e sali'o" you must know you have to write "he salido", except the damned short text messages, that due to the little room we have no choice but to reduce the characters which I'll be writing about later on. In the correct writing we'll avoid such errors, paying attention to the mute h and to "ll" - "y" or "v"-"b" that sound the same.
Therefore, if some of you are thinking about studying “Español” from scratch or refreshing it by moving to Spain,  take into account these kinds of varieties. Remember that you're in for pleasant surprises learning that the same thing can have countless different names.
In conclusion, Spanish has different ways of speaking, expressions, slangs, deformations of the language and kinds of humor varying along its extensive geography. These differences make everyone traveling spain from the north to the south and vice versa smile while learning a new usage of their own language.
