The Spanish language originated in Castilla (Spain) to the ninth century AD. C, but it took
several
centuries
to
establish

as
a
language.
The Spanish language extends today across the globe, is the second most important language in
the world and the third most spoken with 400 million native inhabitants. The Castilian, as we
know it today is the result of a process of transformation of more than a millennium, involving
various languages of the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula were modified by the influence of
the Roman invaders, Goths and Arabs. Towards the end of the fifteenth century with the union
of the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, which extended their rule over most of the peninsula,
the language of Castile, the Castilian, it was imposed on other languages and dialects and was
brought
to
America
by
the
conquistadors.
The Spanish arrived in the Americas through successive voyages of Christopher Columbus and
then the waves of settlers in America seeking new opportunities. In his attempt to communicate
with the natives, they resorted to using gestures and then to European performers or captive
Indians. Thanks to the interaction between the many cultures of America and settlers, the
Spanish was learned by the natives in much of the continent. However, many people held their
tongues, and still remain in their cultures, but also speak Castilian.
