Why Latin American Spanish data is hard to find
"Spanish" corpora are usually neutral or Peninsular, and models trained on them degrade badly on Caribbean and Chilean speech. Consented, redacted call audio is the scarce part, not the language itself. Indigenous-contact varieties in the Andes are effectively unrepresented online.
