Honduran Spanish is theSpanish language as spoken in the country ofHonduras in Central America.Voseo is routinely used in Honduras.

• Honduran Spanish, as aCentral American variety, pronounces the fricative/x/, written with⟨j⟩ or⟨g⟩, as a simple aspiration[h].^[3]
• /ʝ/ is at times elided in contact with front vowels.^[3]
• Word-final/n/ becomes velarized, as[ŋ].^[3]
• /s/ is often aspirated or elided in word- or syllable-final position. As an apparent extension of this, it may even be aspirated in word-initial or word-medial, syllable-initial environments. This word-medial aspiration is most common nearmorpheme boundaries, and in the pronounnosotros, 'we'. S-reduction is most common in the north of Honduras. It is less common in areas ofCopán Department near theGuatemalan border, inComayagua, and among the upper classes ofTegucigalpa.^[4]
