This chapter models structural variation among Spanish varieties with a special focus on Latin America. Based on a database built on secondary sources, the author analyses structural data from 48 Spanish varieties and contact varieties. The results of the analysis show that contact influence is reflected in the grouping of varieties, especially from a global perspective. Among Latin American varieties, regional groupings appear, showing also traces of contact for individual varieties and the influence of national standards. The results reflect previous classifications of Spanish varieties, and show the usefulness of computational methods in comparative studies of global Spanish variation.
