The Spanish language did not exist in the days of the Romans. Like the other Romance languages (Italian, French, Portuguese and Romanian), it evolved over many centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire. These languages are an evolution from Vulgar Latin. This was a non-standard form of Latin (standard Latin is called Classical Latin) which was a colloquial language spoken by the common people around the Roman Empire. Vulgar Latin developed differently in the various regions of the empire, forming a number of dialects. Spanish and the other Romance languages evolved very gradually out of these dialects of Latin, which became extinct.
