Guys, I don't know if I really get the problem here. I mean, I do get that the 2+2 model does not work not even for where I live. I really hate the fact that all spanish south american dialects (some within the same country) are put in the same bag as it wouldn't matter to ppl so I am with you Steve on this one to find an alternative to the 2+2 model. So, in summary, what I am asking is: What would be the problem with mod_say_es_ar_ba for Porteño dialect spoken in Buenos Aires, Argentina besides the verbosity of it and the limited amount of "levels" we have? Do we know any country that has a sub-dialect from a dialect?
jmesquita PS: Please, forgive me if I totally misunderstood it. Afterall, I do have I high fever.
