There is quite a lot of variation within Latin America too. I spent a few weeks in Ecuador in 1994. It has several distinct regional accents even within such a small country, particularly that of the southern city of Gauyaquil.

Madrid is /Madree/ in Granada - elle ( a letter - ll) is prounced /dj/
This is observed in all languages - a profusion of dialects nearest the centre of a language - that is for mathematicians - the rate of mutation of languages is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre ( m = 1/r )
well you did ask
this means that Sarf American Spanish will be more uniform ( lower mutation rate ) and retain old forms
there are things like lo-la-ism which are solely seen in spanish and I cant now remember what it is ....
vamos and vamonos spring to mind
oh and coger meaning take or er kiss
coger el autobus will make a South American snigger
otherwise completely intelligible - do Netflix - no difficulty in following the Thpanith in 'Mayans MC' or Chapo.
My nephew learnt his in Argentina and I dont recollect anyone saying in any language - "foo! you from Argie den innit?" OK he doesnt speak argie to a typical essex man
