Spanish from the Canaries sounds a little bit alike its American counterparts.

Certain features like seseo are more a consequence of the languages also spoken in the same regions during 11st to 15th centuries in Andalusia, 14th and 15th centuries in Canary Islands and 16th to 18th centuries in America.

But I remember some analysis I read about Spaniards settled in America during the 16th century, and about 45% were Andalusian and Extremaduran -though the percentages within high rank people and women were a little lesser-.

Is there a "language of Latin America"? How curious!
