From Spain to the World
|
The language English speakers usually call Spanish
is, in fact, Castilian ( castellano), as it is just one of the
languages spoken in Spain, along with Galician, Catalan, Basque, and some
regional dialects. This language took root on the American Continent at the time of the Spanish Conquest. It is the second most spoken
language in the Western World. |
Spoken originally just in the area nowadays known as Castilla, the
language rapidly spread to most countries in the Americas after Spain
conquered areas that later became countries such as Argentina and Mexico.
Spanish is also spoken in parts of Africa and Asia, as well as in the United States.

Differences
|
Spanish grammar and spelling usually follow rules set
out by the
RAE. However, there are some major differences in
vocabulary between Spain and the Spanish-speaking
countries in Latin America. Also noteworthy is that there are variations within Spain.
