About Spanish
Spanish (español) or Castilian (castellano) is an Iberian Romance language. It was spoken by roughly 364 million people in year 2000. Current estimation accounts up to 410 million, making Spanish the most widely spoken Romance language. It originated as an obscure dialect in Cantabria region of Spain; from that region, its use gradually spread to the kingdom of Castille, where it became the principal language of government and trade. It was later brought to the Western Hemisphere and other parts of the world in the last five centuries by Spanish explorers, colonists and empire-builders. Spanish is one of six official working languages of the United Nations and one of the most used global languages, along with English. It is spoken on all continents, most extensively in North and South America, Europe, and certain parts of Africa, Asia and Oceania.
