Best Answer

The Spanish language developed over a long period from Latin (Spain was a part of the Roman Empire for about 600 years). Following the fall of the Roman empire, the Visigoths that controlled the Iberian peninsula (where Spain is located) adopted Latin as their language. Technically there are 4 languages in Spain, the one we're talking about is also called "Castellano". Like French, Italian, Portuguese, and other languages, Castellano developed over many many years as a variation of Latin.

Spanish language originated in the region of Castille, Spain around the 13th century AD.

Spanish was brought to Mexico during the 16th century, when Spanish conquistadors led by Hernan Cortes conquered the native peoples of the region, such as the Aztecs and Mayans.

What impact did the latin language have on rome?

The language of the Romans was Latin. Western languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The romance languages, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian are languages derived from Latin. There are many words of Latin origin in the English language due to two causes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the language of the court and many French words entered the English language. Most of these words are of Latin origin. Latin was the lingua franca of the European elites in the Middle ages and Renaissance. For many centuries, until recently, the European elites studied Latin and Greek at school. Many Latin words are used in medicine, law and theology.
