Well.  Voseo (use of _vos_) is not only from Rioplatense, but from severa=
l
Latinamerican dialects.  Used in Chile (In Chile both _vos_ and _t=FA_ ar=
e
common) in Central America, and in Paisa and Valluno dialects in Colombia.

Even in Valluno (Cali region), the regular _vos_ imperative of _ver_ is
commonly used: _ve_.
