The division of our country into linguistic regions was defined in the second half of the 20th century and involved historical, geographic, and population aspects, in addition to linguistic features. This article intends to contribute to the dialectological studies on the Spanish spoken in Argentina, especially considering the data about the internal migrant population, migrant population from neighboring countries, and indigenous people who have settled in urban conglomerates, according to the 2010 census data.

In Argentina, 91% of the population is urban and 66% is distributed in only 31 urban agglomerations. The coexistence of people from different origins is a favorable scenario for the exchange or contact between different languages.

The acceleration of urban concentration during the last decades, concomitantly with a greater diversity of migrant and indigenous populations, allows a rethinking of the geography of dialect regions, focusing interest on the urban phenomenon.

Demographic analysis shows that larger urban areas are highly diverse, including Greater Buenos Aires, the country’s largest agglomeration, and most Patagonian cities.

Palavras-chave : urban agglomeration; diversity; migrants; indigenous; dialect regions.
