But if you want to teach me about my country and my customs, go ahead.

I have heard multiple natives of Capital Federal say that anyone born outside the ring road is not a true porteño(a), and I have never heard any of my friends who were born and raised in GBA or the provincias say they were porteñas. If they are from one of the partidos that comprise GBA then they say they are from Zona Norte, Zona Sur, or Zona Oeste. Sometimes they get more specific: 'Soy de Polvo,' meaning Los Polvorines, for example. The ones who say they are from the provincias are from farther out, such as Luján or Cañuelas.

Outside of family's with a little money most Argies dont speak, read or write well. The recent testing by the gov`t of students showed this to be true.
