Spanish accent

Castilian speech pattern

A Spanish accent is the distinctive way English sounds when spoken by a native Spanish speaker, marked by features like vowel substitutions, rolled R's, and different stress patterns.

The phrase also refers to the diacritical marks used in written Spanish—the acute accent (é), tilde (ñ), and dieresis (ü): Make sure you include the Spanish accents when you type.
