What language has had an effect on the Spanish language?

The Spanish language is one of the Romance languages, that is, a Roman language. It comes mainly from Latin. There is also a large influence of the Arabic language on Spanish, because of the occupation of Spain by the Moors during the Middle Ages.Every language that comes in contact with another leaves its mark. Latin and Arabic come to mind first (Spanish is mostly descended from Latin, and 750 years of Arabic presence on the Iberian peninsula), but lately there has been a big influx of English words into Spanish.French has had some effect on the Spanish language because of its international predominance and proximity for centuries, but this is less than the influence it had on the English language because of the centuries-long occupation of England by the French Normans.---In the Americas, the native languages have had a huge influence on the language. The are hints of Germanic influence (mainly from Visigoth). Influence from Basque and Celtic languages is debatable.The Spanish language grew out of Latin. It was substantially influenced by Arabic, and to a lesser extent by French. The Spanish spoken in America has also borrowed many words for native American languages.

What languages have influence on the Spanish language?

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.
