Original research date September 2009 Spanish South American Spanish Spanish espa ol sudamericano or suramericano is a broad geographical term for dialects of Spanish spoken on the continent of SouthAmerica . The term is only geographical and has little or no linguistic relevance, since the diverse Spanish dialects of the continent have no unifying feature to set them apart from non South American varieties. The Spanish of the Andean Spanish Andean highlands is historically conservative, having some traits in common with the Spanish of central Mexican Spanish Mexico , while varieties spoken in Rioplatense Spanish Argentina and Venezuelan Spanish Venezuela share some phonological innovations with the Spanish spoken on Caribbean Spanish Caribbean islands . In some cases a single South American country for example Colombian Spanish Colombia presents a broad spectrum of conservative and innovative dialects.

The Bank of London and SouthAmerica or BOLSA lang es Banco de Londres y Am rica del Sur , also known simply as Banco de Londres was a United Kingdom British bank which operated in SouthAmerica between 1923 and 1986. Origins The bank was incorporated in England on 27 September 1862 ref http wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk Companies House webcheck Company number 2854 ref as the London, Buenos Ayres, and River Plate Bank, originally to operate in Buenos Aires . It soon opened branches elsewhere in Argentina , and changed its name to the London and River Plate Bank in 1865. The Bank expanded over the years to have operations in Uruguay , Brazil and Chile . ref http www.aim25.ac.uk cgi bin vcdf detail?coll id 1608&inst id 13 Aim25 website London and River Plate Bank Records ref In 1918 it was acquired by Lloyds Bank . In 1923 Lloyds Bank brought about a merger with the separately owned London and Brazilian Bank, to prevent the two banks being in direct competition with each other. The merged bank was renamed Bank of London and SouthAmerica. Lloyds retained a major interest in BOLSA throughout its subsequent history. History In 1936 BOLSA took over many of the operations of its chief rival, the Anglo South American Bank , which had gone into liquidation. The acquisitions included Banco A. Edwards, one of the largest banks in Chile. In 1958 the bank formed a joint venture with the Bank of Montreal , known as the Bank of London and Montreal , headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas . BOLSA contributed its branches in Central and northern SouthAmerica to the joint venture. In 1970 BOLSA bought out its joint venture partners, and regained its branches in Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, but not its branches in Venezuela , which BOLAM had closed in 1965. In 1971, Lloyds Bank bought the controlling interest in BOLSA and merged it with Lloyds Bank Europe to form Lloyds and Bolsa International Bank. ref http www.lloydstsb ipb.com w3 es About Us Lloyds TSB History.html History ... more details
