(“spanish” is a ”romance language” that originated in the ‘castile region’ of ‘spain’ + today has “hundreds of millions” of ‘native-speakers’ across the world)
(“spanish” is a part of the “ibero-romance” group of ‘languages’, which evolved from several dialects of “vulgar latin” in ‘iberia’ after the collapse of the ‘western roman empire’ in ‘476’)
(the oldest ‘latin’ texts which show traces of ‘spanish’ come from ‘mid-northern iberia’ in the ‘800s’, and the first systematic written use of the language happened in ‘toledo’ (then capital of the ‘kingdom of castile’, in the ‘1200s’)
(beginning in the ‘early 1500s’, the ’spanish language’ was taken to the colonies from the ‘spanish empire’ (most notably to the ‘americas’)…)
(…as well as territories in…)
‘africa’
‘oceania’
‘the philippines’
.
(around 75% of ‘modern spanish’ is derived from ‘latin’)
(the ’greek language’ has also deeply contributed to ‘spanish vocabulary’)
(due to its influence on roman ‘culture’ + ‘language’)
.
*”and what influenced the ‘greek language’?*
.
(‘spanish vocabulary’ has been in contact from an early date with ‘arabic’, having developed during the ‘al-andalus’ era in (on?) the ‘iberian peninsula’)
(with around 8% of its vocabulary being ‘arabic’ in origin, this language is the 2nd most important influence on the ‘spanish language’ (after ‘latin’))
(it has also been influenced by ‘basque’ as well as by neighboring ‘ibero-romance’ languages)
(it also adopted words from ‘non-iberian’ languages such as ‘gothic language’ from the ‘visigoths‘ among others)
(…particularly the other ‘romance languages’…)
‘occitan’
‘french’
‘italian’
‘sardinian’
.
(the ‘spanish language’ was also influenced by languages from ‘nahuatl’, ‘quechua’, and other ‘indigenous languages’ of ‘the americas’)
.
(the ‘spanish language’ is 1 (of 6) ‘official languages’ of the ‘united nations’)
.
(it is also used as an ‘official language’ by… )
*the ‘european union’*
*the ‘organization of american states’*
*the ‘union of south american nations’*
*the ‘community of ‘latin american’ + ‘caribbean’ states’*
(..and by many other ‘international organizations’)
