description After the Spanish conquest and colonization, the underdeveloped nations of America had to accept the Spanish language as their own. The language that the kingdom of Castille had already been imposed on other Iberian provinces, with the exception of Portugal. At this moment, this language was just acquiring grammatical accuracy, as a consequence of the evolution of the Latin language, introduced in the Hispanic peninsula during the Roman empire in the year 19 B.C. Over the decades, Latin phonetics, morphology, syntax and semantics were altered to form many dialects. Some of them, like the Castilian, took a distance from their mother tongue and became different languages altogether, with their own grammatical systems. Later Visigoth and Arab invasions left a scarce trace on the Castilian language, because Hispanics (Roman name meaningland of rabbits ) had  a more solid culture than their invaders. The Spanish we speak today comes from the Classical Latin as well as from the Vulgar Latin, Late Latin and Medieval Latin, spoken and written in the Middle Ages (V-XVI centuries). Each of these periods were important to the phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic changes that occurred in Spanish. Nowadays, Spanish keeps evolving, despite universality and the expansion of our linguistically unifying communication media.

Era la lengua que el reino de Castilla ya había impuesto a otras provincias ibéricas (nombre griego), con excepción de la portuguesa. Esta lengua recién estaba alcanzando rigurosidad gramatical, como consecuencia de la evolución del latín impuesto por los romanos desde el año 19 antes de Cristo en la Península Hispánica. Década tras década el latín se alteró en su fonética, morfología, sintaxis y semántica hasta obtener diversos dialectos; algunos, como el castellano, se distanciaron de su lengua madre y se hicieron lenguas con sus propias gramáticas. Las posteriores invasiones, visigodas y árabes, apenas dejaron huella en el castellano, porque los hispanos (nombre romano que significa tierra de conejos) poseían una cultura más sólida que la de sus invasores. El español que hoy se habla procede del latín hablado tanto por la gente culta y por el vulgo o pueblo de entonces, como del ‘bajo latín’ hablado y escrito en la Edad Media (siglos V-XVI). Cada uno en su espacio y momento fue responsable de cambios fonéticos, morfológicos, sintácticos y semánticos. Hoy la evolución prosigue, pese a la universalidad y el enriquecimiento de los medios de comunicación lingüísticamente unificadores.  Après la conquête et colonisation espagnoles, les peuples sous-développés du continent américain ont dû assumer la langue des conquérants. C’était la langue que le royaume de Castille avait déjà imposé à d’autres provinces ibériques (nom grec) à l’exception de la portugaise. Cette langue était à peine en train d’atteindre sa rigueur grammaticale, comme conséquence de l’évolution du latin imposé par les romains dès l’an 19 avant Jésus-Christ dans la Péninsule Hispanique. Décennie après décennie, le latin a subi des altérations par rapport à sa phonétique, morphologie, syntaxe et sémantique pour obtenir divers dialectes ; quelques-uns comme le castillan, ont pris de distance avec sa langue mère et sont devenus des langues ayant leurs propres grammaires. Les invasions qui se sont succédées, wisigothes et arabes, ont à peine laissé un emprunt sur le castillan, parce que les hispaniques (nom romain qui signifie terre de lapins) avaient une culture plus solide que celle des envahisseurs. L’espagnol parlé aujourd’hui vient du latin parlé par les gens cultivés et le peuple de cette époque-là, come du “bas latin”, parlé et écrit au Moyen Âge (Ve-XVIe siècles). Chacun dans son espace et moment a été responsable de changements phonétiques, morphologiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques. Aujourd’hui l’évolution continue, malgré l’universalité et l’enrichissement des moyens de communication linguistiquement unificateurs. Após a conquista e a colonização espanholas, os povos subdesenvolvidos da América deviam assumir a língua de seus conquistadores. Era a língua que o reino de Castela já havia imposto a outras províncias ibéricas (nome grego), com exceção da portuguesa. Esta língua recém estava alcançando rigorosidade gramatical, como consequência da evolução do latim imposto pelos romanos desde o ano 19 antes de Cristo na Península Hispânica. Década trás década o latim alterou-se em sua fonética, morfologia, sintaxe e semântica até obter diversos dialetos; alguns, como o castelhano, distanciaram-se de sua língua materna e tornaram-se línguas com suas próprias gramáticas. As posteriores invasões, visigodas e árabes, apenas deixaram as suas marcas no castelhano, porque os hispanos (nome romano que significa terra de coelhos) possuíam uma cultura mais sólida que a de seus invasores. O espanhol usado hoje procede do latim falado tanto por gente culta e pelo vulgo ou povo da época, como do ‘baixo latim’ falado e escrito na Idade Media (séculos V-XVI ). Cada um em seu espaço e momento foi responsável pelas mudanças fonéticas, morfológicas, sintáticas e semânticas.
