By this question, I'm understanding what the ORIGIN of the language is. Mostly Latin, Greek and Arabic (remember, the Arabs were in Spain for 770+ years). That's why the "g" and "j" sounds are gutteral (gemido, Jorge). That's why most words with a "Z" in it is from Arabic origins: zapatofor example.
If you are really wanting to know what languages have influence on the Spanish language, it is those who do the most business with them internationally. English due to the USA and Great Britain (Australia and other former colonies to a much lesser extent), French, German, Italian, (any neighbor really) all have influence on their syntax.

The Spanish language was primarily influenced by Latin, due to the Roman conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally, Arabic had a significant influence on Spanish during the Islamic occupation of Spain. Other languages, such as French, Italian, and English, have also had some influence on Spanish through borrowings of vocabulary.
