Spanish (Castilian) developed from Latin following the conquests of Rome in Western Europe. It includes vocabulary from both Basque and Arabic, the latter being prominent during the Iberian occupation by the Moors from around 711 AD to 1492 AD.

Spanish descended from the Latin language, introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans during their conquest in the 3rd century BC. Over time, Latin evolved into what is now known as Spanish through various linguistic changes and influences from other languages spoken in the region.
