Ceceo: pronouncing s as c/z

In southern Spain, more specificly Andalusia, in some places people pronounce  letter "s" as soft c/z. This happens more often in rural areas. When this happens this is called "ceceo". This also happens in some parts of Latin America. Let's see some examples, pronounced with and without ceceo:

With ceceo:

casahouse

Without ceceo:

casahouse

With ceceo:

payasoclown

Without ceceo:

payasoclown

With ceceo:

SevillaSeville

Without ceceo:

SevillaSeville

Ceceo is often seen socially more negative than positive.
