   LANGUAGE

The official language of Argentina is Castilian Spanish. The most distinctive feature is the use of "vos" instead of "tú" for the informal treatment, and the use of "che" to talk to another person (being a sign of intimacy).

English and Portuguese are spoken by most of the people involved in the tourist activities. The Italian can be understood without major difficulties in Buenos Aires.
