Is your future Spanish some kind of development in the whole Spanish speaking world or just some future development from Argentina? In the later case a more acurate name would be _Arzentin_ [@rs^@n^t^in] (= I got it right?) Literature and television are playing in order to make Spanish one langua= ge, I wonder why are Rioplatence features like aspiration of syllabe final {s= } ({-s} as [h]), and voseo will be winning on the general language... (in Bogot=E1 is quite the opposite {s} are clear [s] in all positions except before voiced consonants where it becomes [z], and is definitively a _t=FA_/_usted_ dialect). If the unity of Spanish is preserved, I would see few evolution, further dialectical evolution but still being recognized as Spanish... writting would not longer be phonemic but orthography reforms would be few in orde= r to preserve the common point in all the Spanish speaking world. Rolo (Bogotano) will never become a _vos_ dialect as Rioplatense won't become = a _t=FA_ dialect. Or let's give the context in which Argentinans won't care to speak the sa= me language as Chileneans, Spaniards, Colombians and Mexicans. -- Carlos Th
