Peruvian coastal Spanish (Spanish: Español costeño peruano), also known as Ribereño Spanish (Spanish: Español ribereño) or Spanish from Lima (Spanish: Español limeño), is the form of the Spanish language spoken in the coastal region of Peru. The dialect has four characteristic forms today: the original one, that of the inhabitants of Lima (known as limeños) near the Pacific coast and partially to the south (formerly from the historic centre from where it spread to the entire coastal region); the inland immigrant sociolect (more influenced by Andean languages); the Northern form, in Trujillo, Chiclayo or Piura; and the Southern form. The majority of Peruvians speak this dialect, as it is the standard dialect of Spanish in Peru.
Between 1535 and 1739, Lima was the capital of the Spanish Empire in South America, from where Hispanic culture spread, and its speech became one the most prestigious in the region,[1][2][3] as it was the home of the University of San Marcos.[4] Also, it was the city that had the highest number of titles of nobility from Castile outside of Spain.[5] Colonial people in Lima became used to living an ostentatious and courtly life style that people in the other capital cities of Spanish America did not experience, with the exception of Mexico City and later the city of Bogotá.
