Professional Spanish translation services from Lingovo
Spanish belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. With more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Spoken across several continents and an official language in 20 countries, Spanish plays an important role in international communication.
Like French, Spanish developed from what is known as Vulgar Latin. After the fall of the Roman Empire, spoken Latin gradually evolved under the influence of regional dialects. From the Iberian Peninsula, Spanish reached Latin America through colonisation. Spanish varies considerably between Spain and the countries of Latin America.
Native speakers often call their language español or castellano (Castilian). Apart from Latin, Arabic has had the greatest influence on Spanish. As Arabic spread across the Iberian Peninsula, many Arabic words entered the language. Spanish spelling generally reflects pronunciation quite closely, and many letters are pronounced consistently. For learners, this makes spelling and pronunciation more predictable than in some other European languages.

For a long time, it was assumed that the Glosas Emilianenses (Glosses of Saint Emilianus) from the year 964 were the first written Spanish texts. In 2010, however, the Real Academia Española announced that there are Spanish documents dating back to the 9th century.
Demand for Spanish-language content continues to grow, reflecting the importance of Spanish in international markets. Spanish is very popular in Asia, for example, and its use online has also grown rapidly. Forecasts suggest that within a few generations, 10% of the world’s population will at least understand Spanish.
