How did Spanish start?

Answer 1

The language descended from the Latin spoken by the Romans who conquered various areas of Europe during the days of the Empire. The earliest people of the Iberian region included the Visigoths, and the Carthaginians fought the Romans in Spain during the Second Punic War in 210 BC. The existing languages developed into languages such as Basque, while Latin spread as Castilian by about the 9th Century AD.
