Abstract

This work examines the dialectal division of Spanish in Panama based on the quantitative distribution of the phonetic features found in the Atlas Linguistico Pluridimensional de Panama (ALPEP) and its dialectometric analysis. The results allowed identifying five dialectal zones: the first zone, central-western composed of Panama, Portobelo, Salud, Penonome, Santa Fe, Chitre, and Puerto Armuelles; the second area, which is known as the western zone, includes Pedasi, Santiago, El Tigre, Tole, Cerro Punta and Changuinola; the third zone, central-eastern, formed by Meteti and Canita; the fourth zone, eastern, given by the populations of La Palma and Yaviza; and the Guna Yala zone of El Porvenir.
