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.
