RE: What is "El Cibao"?
"The Cibao valley is not only a geographical unit, but also a cultural and linguistic unit. A typical dialect of Spanish is spoken in the area, including several regional idiomatic phrases, expressions, and a particular way of speaking. A "cibaeño" can be identified because of his substitution of the "R" and "L" phonetic sounds at the end of syllables for short "I" sounds while speaking."

The only thing I can say is response that I'm certain that were I'm from is the cibao, without a shadow of a doubt (Baitoa, Santiago province). Just the fact that it CAN be debated if the people on the north coast and near the frontier are cibaeños is revealing in of itself.


Do you consider Valverde to be part of the Cibao? Cuz' I consider it so judging by my experience with my father, who is from that place, and that no matter the many years that he has living here on the capital, hasn't stopped from speaking with the "i's", nor from being a furious aguilucho fan or enjoying a Perico Ripiao, the same applying to my paternal grandparents.
