Lo primero, nuestros oyentes notarán que tienes un acento diferente del mío. the|first|our|listeners|they will notice|that|you have|a|accent|different|from the|mine First of all, our listeners will notice that you have a different accent than mine. L: Claro es que soy de Venezuela, de Caracas. L|of course|it is|that|I am|from|Venezuela|of|Caracas L: Of course, I am from Venezuela, from Caracas.

A: ¿Cuál es el idioma oficial en Venezuela? A|which|is|the|language|official|in|Venezuela A: What is the official language in Venezuela?

¿solo el español? only|the|Spanish Only Spanish? L: A ver, la constitución reconoce, además del español, más de 30 idiomas indígenas, entre ellos el wayúu, el warao, el pemón... pero lo cierto es que menos del 1% de la población total habla alguno de estos idiomas. L|A|to see|the|constitution|it recognizes|in addition|of the|Spanish|more|than|languages|indigenous|among|them|the|wayúu|the|warao|the|pemón|but|the|certain|it is|that|less|of the|of|the|population|total|it speaks|any|of|these|languages L: Well, the constitution recognizes, in addition to Spanish, more than 30 indigenous languages, including Wayuu, Warao, Pemón... but the truth is that less than 1% of the total population speaks any of these languages.

Yo, por ejemplo, no tengo idea [1] de cómo hablar o en qué consiste la gramática de ninguno de ellos porque, además, no se enseñan en la escuela, lo que me parece una pena. I|for|example|not|I have|idea|of|how|to speak|or|in|what|it consists|the|grammar|of|none|of|them|because|in addition|not|itself|they are taught|in|the|school|which|that|to me|it seems|a|shame I, for example, have no idea [1] how to speak or what the grammar of any of them consists of because, moreover, they are not taught in school, which I think is a shame. A: ¿Pero hay más de 30 idiomas? A|but|there are|more|than|languages A: But there are more than 30 languages?

¿y tienen futuro? and|they have|future And do they have a future? Porque si no se enseñan en la escuela y los habla tan poca gente, terminarán desapareciendo... because|if|not|themselves|they teach|in|the|school|and|them|she/he speaks|so|little|people|they will end|disappearing Because if they are not taught in school and so few people speak them, they will end up disappearing... L: Sí, de hecho dos de ellos ya han desaparecido y muchos están en peligro de extinción [2]. L|yes|of|fact|two|of|them|already|they have|disappeared|and|many|they are|in|danger|of|extinction L: Yes, in fact two of them have already disappeared and many are at risk of extinction [2].

Sin embargo, hay instituciones que junto con la Unicef están apoyando algunos proyectos para recuperar los idiomas indígenas de Venezuela. without|however|there are|institutions|that|together|with|the|Unicef|they are|supporting|some|projects|to|recover|the|languages|indigenous|of|Venezuela However, there are institutions that, along with Unicef, are supporting some projects to recover the indigenous languages of Venezuela. A: ¿Y conoces alguna palabra en wayúu, por ejemplo? and||you know|any|word|in|wayúu|for|example A: And do you know any word in Wayuu, for example?

L: En wayúu no, pero en pemón sí. I|in|wayúu|not|but|in|pemón|yes L: In Wayuu no, but in Pemón yes.

Por ejemplo, agua se dice "tuna", quizás tenga que ver con el pez... for|example|water|itself|it says|tuna|perhaps|it has|to|to see|with|the|fish For example, water is said "tuna", it might have to do with the fish... A: Quizás. and|perhaps A: Maybe.

L: Y casa creo que se dice "aute". ||house|I believe|that|itself|it says|aute L: And house I think is said "aute".

Pero como te dije, no sé mucho de eso. but|as|you|I said|not|I know|a lot|of|that But as I told you, I don't know much about that. Ahora, si hablamos de nombres, mira, mi abuelo me contó que el nombre de Caracas viene de una flor que abunda [3] en la ciudad y que la Tribu de Los Caracas llamaba "Caracá". now|if|we talk|of|names|look|my|grandfather|to me|he told|that|the|name|of|Caracas|it comes|from|a|flower|that|it abounds|in|the|city|and|that|the|tribe|of|the|Caracas|it called|Caracá Now, if we talk about names, look, my grandfather told me that the name of Caracas comes from a flower that abounds [3] in the city and that the Tribe of Los Caracas called it "Caracá". También nuestro "Salto Angel", la caída de agua [4] más alta del mundo, recibía de los indígenas pemones el nombre de Churum Merú o Kerepakupai Vena, que significa "salto del lugar más profundo" y así muchas otras regiones de Venezuela. also|our|Jump|Angel|the|fall|of|water|the most|high|of the|world|it received|from|the|indigenous|pemons|the|name|of|Churum|Merú|or|Kerepakupai|Vena|that|it means|jump|of the|place|the most|deep|and|thus|many|other|regions|of|Venezuela Also our "Angel Falls", the highest waterfall [4] in the world, was given the name Churum Merú or Kerepakupai Vena by the indigenous pemons, which means "waterfall of the deepest place" and many other regions of Venezuela. También se encuentran nombres de utensilios [5] y apellidos de origen indígena. also|themselves|they find|names|of|utensils|and|surnames|of|origin|indigenous There are also names of utensils [5] and surnames of indigenous origin. A: ¡Qué interesante! A|how|interesting A: How interesting!

A mí me preguntan muchas veces si el español de España es igual al de Latinoamérica. A|to me|me|they ask|many|times|if|the|Spanish|of|Spain|it is|equal|to the|of|Latin America I am often asked if the Spanish of Spain is the same as that of Latin America. L: Bueno, es un tema complejo. L|well|it is|a|topic|complex L: Well, it's a complex topic.

Yo pienso que el idioma estándar o la variante culta no cambia en ningún lado, al igual que pasa con el francés o el inglés. I|I think|that|the|language|standard|or|the|variant|cultured|not|it changes|in|any|place|upon the|same|as|it happens|with|the|French|or|the|English I think that the standard language or the cultured variant does not change anywhere, just like it happens with French or English. Pero definitivamente sí existen diferencias. but|definitely|yes|there exist|differences But there are definitely differences. Por ejemplo la pronunciación o el acento son diferentes, algunas frases hechas o dichos no son iguales y ¡ah! for|example|the|pronunciation|or|the|accent|they are|different|some|phrases|idiomatic|or|sayings|not|they are|equal|and|ah For example, pronunciation or accent are different, some idioms or sayings are not the same and ah! también el uso de "ustedes" en vez de "vosotros" es una diferencia. also|the|use|of|you (plural)|in|instead|of|you (plural|it is|a|difference also the use of "ustedes" instead of "vosotros" is a difference. A: Quizás podríamos comparar el español de los diferentes países con el suizo alemán de los diferentes cantones. A|perhaps|we could|to compare|the|Spanish|of|the|different|countries|with|the|Swiss|German|of|the|different|cantons A: Perhaps we could compare the Spanish of different countries with Swiss German from the different cantons.

En la Suiza alemana todo el mundo se entiende entre sí, pero los dialectos de Berna y Wallis, por ejemplo, son distintos. in|the|Switzerland|German|everyone|the|world|itself|understands|among|itself|but|the|dialects|of|Bern|and|Wallis|for|example|they are|distinct In German-speaking Switzerland, everyone understands each other, but the dialects of Bern and Wallis, for example, are distinct. L: Sí, exactamente, podríamos decir que es un fenómeno parecido. L|yes|exactly|we could|to say|that|it is|a|phenomenon|similar L: Yes, exactly, we could say it's a similar phenomenon.

A: Otra cosa completamente diferente, Luizena. A|another|thing|completely|different|Luizena A: Something completely different, Luizena.

A: Bueno, yo nunca había oído estas combinaciones de nombres. A|well|I|never|I had|heard|these|combinations|of|names A: Well, I had never heard these name combinations before.

La ley cambió cuando yo nací. the|law|it changed|when|I|I was born The law changed when I was born. L: Claro, lo de María delante es por la religión, ¿no?

L: Pienso que si bien [13] ha hecho cosas positivas por el país, le está negando al pueblo lo más importante, su libertad de expresión y como solución a los problemas esta utilizando el modelo castro-comunista [14] que sin duda [15] ha fracasado. ||that|if|although|it has|done|things|positive|for|the|country|to it|it is|denying|to the|people|the|most|important|its|freedom|of|expression|and|as|solution|to|the|problems|this|using|the|model|||which|without|doubt|it has|failed L: I think that while [13] has done positive things for the country, it is denying the people the most important thing, their freedom of expression, and as a solution to the problems, it is using the Castro-communist model [14] which has undoubtedly [15] failed.
