About Spanish
Spanish is a Romance language that evolved from Vulgar Latin on the Iberian Peninsula. Following the Reconquista and the Age of Exploration, it spread across the Americas and parts of Africa and Asia. Today Spanish is spoken by approximately 534 million people, making it the fourth most spoken language globally.
Spanish uses the Latin alphabet with the addition of the letter n with tilde. It is the official language of 20 countries, spanning from Spain across most of Central and South America. Spanish is known for its relatively consistent phonetic spelling, meaning words are generally pronounced as they are written, making it one of the more accessible languages for learners to read aloud.
