Equatorial Spanish, also called Coastal Colombian-Ecuadorian dialect or Chocoano, is a dialect of Spanish spoken mainly in the coastal region of Ecuador, as well as in the bordering coastal areas of northern Peru and southern Colombia. It is considered to be transitional between the Caribbean dialects and the Peruvian Coast varieties. The major influential linguistic centers are Guayaquil and Buenaventura. There is an important subvariety of this dialect which is spoken by most of the communities of African descent dwelling on the border between coastal Colombia (Chocó department), Ecuador (Esmeraldas province), and Peru (Tumbes Region), and which is said to reflect African influence in terms of intonation and rhythm.

| - Equatorial Spanish, also called Coastal Colombian-Ecuadorian dialect or Chocoano, is a dialect of Spanish spoken mainly in the coastal region of Ecuador, as well as in the bordering coastal areas of northern Peru and southern Colombia. It is considered to be transitional between the Caribbean dialects and the Peruvian Coast varieties. The major influential linguistic centers are Guayaquil and Buenaventura. There is an important subvariety of this dialect which is spoken by most of the communities of African descent dwelling on the border between coastal Colombia (Chocó department), Ecuador (Esmeraldas province), and Peru (Tumbes Region), and which is said to reflect African influence in terms of intonation and rhythm. The particular intonation which identifies the speakers of these regions has been a subject of study. Boyd-Bowman (1953) states that the features that he has observed show clearly a phonetic continuity along the coasts of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, in contrast to that of their respective Andean provinces.Boyd-Bowman observes that the present borders of Ecuador with the neighboring countries do not correspond to natural geographic boundaries, nor to linguistic/cultural boundaries (the same Spanish is spoken on both sides), nor to older political borders, whether of the Incas or of the Spanish colonies. Lipski (1994) also considers the dialect of northern coastal Peru as a distinct variety of Spanish, based on phonetic features. (en)
- El español ecuatorial, colombiano-ecuatoriano ribereño o chocoano, llamado en Ecuador simplemente costeño, es el conjunto de variedades con características similares que se hablan en las costas pacíficas del occidente y sur de Colombia, la región litoral del Ecuador y la costa norte del Perú, componiendo la transición entre el dialecto caribeño y el peruano ribereño. Desde el punto de vista tonal-acentual, este dialecto rige el foco de transición fonemático del español americano que se expande geográficamente desde la entonación semigrave del Caribe y Centroamericana por el norte, hacia la intensa agudeza localizadas al sur, propia de las tonalidades peruanas, chilenas y argentinas. El centro urbano principal de la región es la ciudad portuaria de Guayaquil, en Ecuador. Hay importantes comunidades de raza negra, como el departamento colombiano de Chocó, las zonas costeras de los departamentos de Cauca y Nariño, y la provincia ecuatoriana de Esmeraldas, o el departamento peruano de Tumbes, que le dan un toque "africano" al acento en esta macrorregión dialectal internacional.
