Spanish (español(help·info))
or Castilian (castellano) is a
Romance language originally from the
northern area of
Spain.
From there, its use gradually spread inside the Kingdom of
Castile, where it evolved and eventually became the
principal language of the government and trade. It was later
taken to
Africa, the
Americas and
Asia Pacific when they were brought under Spanish colonial
rule between the 15th and 19th centuries.
Today, it is one of the official languages
of Spain, most
Latin American countries and
Equatorial Guinea. In total, 21 nations use Spanish as their
primary language. Spanish is also one of
six official languages of the
United Nations.
The language is spoken by between 322 and
400 million people natively,[13][7]
making Spanish the most spoken Romance language and possibly the
second most spoken language by number of native speakers.[14][15]Spanish language -
