The acquisition of a new language is a great step for the human growth and development, it is not known exactly how many languages exist, the latest studies indicate something around 9000 but it's a very complex subject, either in cataloging or understanding, as there are some dying, ceasing to be used or evolving.

-Language Barriers and Skills

the different cultural and geographical virtues from each place, give their people a set of unique abilities, in this sense we cannot speak of superiority or inferiority, simply about different realities, reality can not be replaced by one of the ways of saying it and the ways of speaking about reality can not be replaced by a supposed reality separated from the language.
It seems that the fastest languages (those that can transmit more quantity of words or meanings in less time) are Japanese and Spanish, within the last one we find an enormous amount of different varieties or modalities.
I personally belong to the Andalusian varieties of which I would like to speak extensively by and by as I'm feeling like, I will just try to introduce it for those who don't know it or want to know more.

From the linguistic point of view, given its phonetic, lexical and morphological features that differentiate it from the rest of the peninsular languages, Andalusian cannot be considered a dialect or an accent, not even a language, is a much more complex and varied reality full of nerve, economy, picaresque, temper, appreciation and many qualities.

Here, as everywhere, weather predetermines, before the invention of domestic refrigerators we only use one word to designate solid water (snow) while Inuits have twenty-five, for the simple reason of clime. The cultural archipelago of Andalusia it's kind of complicated to summarize, it is a place where art, comedy, culture and happiness thrive, e.g. the lyrics of the last 100 years of the Cadiz carnivals could reconstruct our political and internal history as well as with flamenco and couplets, culture could be reconstructed, understanding reconstruct as a method of study and comprehension, that may be another use case for the blockchain.

Here you can see a bit of what Cadiz Carnival represents and its character.

It is absolute rebellion against everything and an incredible artistic representation, effrontery is the wisdom intention product and there is a lot of hidden philosophy and history behind.

This is Paco de Lucia, flamenco legend, master and revolutionary.

There is also innovation, nuance and mixing here in many ways and areas and as I think I'm deviating a lot from the subject if there was a particular one, I'll end up saying that learning Andalusian in any of its varieties, although there is no official school, is an excellent way to understand, speak and introduce yourself to the reality of Spanish.

Here is another pearl, you may have seen it before but this one is really well transcribed.
