Origin of  Spanish language.

This story begins in a peninsula that being invaded  to being invasive, Hiberia or Spanija peninsula, after  it was called Hispania  by the Romans and since middle age, it has known like  Spain before Romans arrived who carried the Latin Language.

The peninsula was habited by the tartesos, hiberos, Celts, Celtiberians  and Basques. In the Mediterranean coasts , the Phoenicians ( since  XI century  a.C ) ,the Greeks ( VII century b. C)  and the Carthaginians  (VII b.C)  they  establish Commercial  colonies.  After a long domination the Carthaginians  were defeated by the Romans, They installed here since late  third century before Christ , until fifth century  after Christ in the Peninsula whose presence will be definitive by the Spanish Country.

The Romans  traders and soldiers were  the managers  of colonization and imposed her language: The Latin Language spoken or Vulgar Latin so the  Peninsula were Romanizated, with the fall of Roman empire  ( Tenth Century a.C) the Christianity remains valid the Latin language  this fact help with the Romances Language's  birth. At the beginning  of century fifth, it starts  to arrive Germanics  people like the Visigoths that spoken Latin mixed  with native language, this people were Christians as a result the cultural fusion happened easily and their takes  much of the peninsula, also arrived other barbarians groups like : Alans, Swabians and vandals  these groups enter to the South.

Towards eighth century a C the peninsula is invaded by the Arabians , they comes to Africa's north  with their  arrives another way  to see the world, other religion, other culture, other architecture,  and most progress in the sciences like: math, chemistry, medicine and arts. The Arabians were in the peninsula until 15th century  so 800 years,  thereby  is notable the  number of Arabians terms in the Spanish language, the wars of Christians reconquest  of north, The Christians  beginning against the Arabians of south,  this facts happened around this short times , a lot of part of time this people lived pacifically, so Hispanics-Visigoths (Mozarabics) were dominated  by the Arabians and their mixes with the Mozarabics, and whenever the Christianities dominated the Hispanics-Arabians (Mudejares)   were in their houses and they adapted to the situation.

During the reconquest time ( XI century- XV century) in Spain  was born different  Latin idioms variations  like: The Galician, the Catalan and the Castilian. On 1492 Antonio De Nebrija  publics the first Spanish grammar and this would the first Romance langue studied scientifically, Since this epoch  Spanish Language is considerate synonym   of Castilian Idiom,  Spanish language will make a union in all Spain people.

With America discovery  Spain stops being invaded  to being invasive and the Castilian language  comes to the new world and it is enriched by terms of Native American languages. During the XVII century the  flowering of the arts in Italy causes the assimilation of Italian voices; In the centuries XIX and XX the Castilian is influenced by the English and French languages. 

Romanian

Roman Province: Dacia

One of the changes to Vulgar Latin made in Romania was that an unstressed 'o' became 'u,' so you may see Rumania (the country) and Rumanian (the language), instead of Romania and Romanian. Romania is the only country in the Eastern European area that speaks a Romance language. At the time of the Romans, the Dacians may have spoken a Thracian language. The Romans fought the Dacians during the reigns of Trajan who defeated their king, Decebalus. Men from Dacia became Roman soldiers who learned the language of their commanders -- Latin -- and brought it home with them when they settled in Dacia upon retirement. Missionaries also brought Latin to Romania. Later influences on Romanian came from Slavic immigrants.

Italian

Italian emerged from further simplification of Vulgar Latin in the Italic peninsula. The language is also spoken in San Marino as the official language, and in Switzerland, as one of the official languages. In the 12th to 13th century, the vernacular spoken in Tuscany (formerly the area of the Etruscans) became the standard written language, now known as Italian. A spoken language based on the written version became standard in Italy in the 19th century.

Roman Province: Lusitania

Orbilat says that the language of the Romans practically wiped out the earlier language of the Iberian peninsula when the Romans conquered the area in the third century B.C. Latin was a prestige language, so it was in the interest of the population to learn it. Over time the language spoken on the west coast of the peninsula came to be Galician-Portuguese, but when Galicia became part of Spain, the two language groups split.

Gallician

Roman Province: Gallicia/Gallaecia.

The area of Gallicia was inhabited by Celts when the Romans conquered the area and made it a Roman province, so the native Celtic language mixed with Vulgar Latin from the second century B.C. Germanic invaders also had an impact on the language.

Spanish (Castilian)

Latin Term: Hispania

The Vulgar Latin in Spain from the 3rd century B.C. was simplified in various ways, including the reduction of cases to just the subject and object. In 711, Arabic came to Spain via the Moors, and as a result, there are Arabic borrowings in the modern language. Castilian Spanish comes from the 9th century, when Basques influenced the speech. Steps towards its standardization took place in the 13th becoming the official language in the 15th century. An archaic form called Ladino was preserved among Jewish populations forced to leave in the 15th century.

Catalan

Roman Province: Hispania (Citerior).

Catalan is spoken in Catalonia, Valencia, Andorra, the Balearic Isles, and other small regions. The area of Catalonia spoke the Vulgar Latin but was influenced heavily by the southern Gauls in the 8th century becoming a distinct language by the 10th century.

French

Roman Province: Gallia Transalpina.

French is spoken in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, in Europe. The Romans in the Gallic Wars, under Julius Caesar, brought Latin to Gaul in the 1st century B.C. At the time they were speaking a Celtic language known as Gaulish. Germanic Franks invaded in the early 5th century. By the time of Charlemagne (d. A.D. 814), the language of the French was already sufficiently removed from Vulgar Latin to be called Old French.
