Question

What language do they speak in Buenos Aires, Argentina?

Answer 1

Español.

Answer 2

Spanish.

Answer 3

Spanish, of course.

But there's this joke about they actually speaking "Argentinean" as their idioms, verb conjugation, pronunciation, pronoun use, etc differ greatly from other Spanish speaking countries.

Answer 4

en argentina, incluso Buenos Aires, se habla CASTELLANO  mal conocido como español (ya que no es lo mismo) es el idioma oficial y tambien existen otras lenguas menos habladas.

Answer 5

Spanish - but it does sound more like Italian.  Also, in spanish "ll" is pronounced "yuh" and in Argentinean Spanish it is pronounced as "shh".  So, in most spanish "Ella" is "Eh-yah" but in Argentina it is "Eh-shha".  That really changes the sound of the language. Also, other spanish uses the verb "tu" for you and Argentina uses "vos"  and for that verb form all of the endings are different.  So, you might speak Spanish, but you'll need to grow accustomed to the Argentine Spanish.
