The culture of Argentina is as varied as the country's geography and mix of ethnic groups.
Modern Argentine culture has been largely influenced by European immigration. There are also some Amerindian and African influences, particularly in the fields of music and art.
Buenos Aires and other cities show a
mixture of architectural styles imported from Europe. In the case of older settlements (and of older preserved neighborhoods within cities), modern styles appear mixed with colonial features, relics from the Spanish-ruled past.
if you go to argentina, you must visit the capital de faldas. which is the most famous cathedral in argentina where the first president was married.
Museums, cinemas and galleries are abundant in all the large urban centers, as well as traditional establishments such as literary bars, or bars offering live music of a variety of genres.
Argentina's official language is Spanish (here usually named castellano). There are many variations of Spanish in Argentina and every province has its own accent.
Rio de la Plata Spanish is the variation used in all cities near the Rio de la Plata river, the most well-known characteristic being the use of "vos" instead of "tu" ("Voceo"). Some immigrant communities retain their own language as a badge of identity and languages such as Italian, German and Frech are spoken. The Welsh community of Patagonia have held an Eisteddfod, as well as the Basques, Arabs and Ukrainians. Recent immigrants from China and South Korea, who have established themselves in large cities like Buenos Aires and Rosario, also speak their own language among themselves, and some communities publish small-circulation newspapers in them.
Most Argentines can understand some words of simple spoken Italian and Portuguese, due to their similarity to Spanish.
There are about 23 native languages spoken in different parts of the country, including Quechua, Mapuche, Guaraní, Toba and Wichí.
