And Borges didn't?

As Phoglund mentioned, most of Borges is at a level in which it is
difficult to tell. Of the rest - a little of it is too technical for any
difference to even be possible; the remaining is deeply argentinian in
theme (more so than just south american) and may yield a bit to
'standard peninsular Spanish, with some words for lexical items that
have no name in Spain'. Last, I'm pretty sure his milongas should be
'idiomatically' argentinian.
In a way, Borges is pretty much like Tolkien.
