It isn't until you get to the "Root" Spanish that it really becomes different. For instance, getting into places in the Carribian. Other languages shape the colloquialisms, in Europe the Spanish you hear in North Spain is very different from Barcelona Spain. In The areas you're talking about, the dialect is a lot more informal.

I find that Caribbean Spanish is more an "accent" difference than a dialect, and of course colloquial expressions vary but I don't find that sufficient to qualify as a dialect. Please enlighten me.
