In my opinion, Chileans speak quickly, mumble, and chew the last syllables of certain words. There is a certain similarity with the Peruvian accent, though the latter is much slower and clearer. -------------------------
Spanish is spoken in the Caribbean, coastal areas of Latin America, and in some cases in southern Spain. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the accent in Seville, Cádiz, and other cities in Andalusia, in Southern Spain, began to change. Speakers began to drop the final ‘s’ on words. The settlers and traders of southern Spain took this dialect with them to the Caribbean and other coastal areas. Today Caribbean or ‘Lowland’ Spanish is characterized by its relative informality, its rapid pace, and the dropping of ‘s’ sounds, allowing people to talk more quickly.” (From http://www.infoplease.com/spot/hhmaccents1.html).
