Castilian evolved from several dialects and languages, now collectively, termed Spanish. Latin, which is at the origin of Spanish words, was introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by Romans during the Second Punic War around 210 BC. During the 5th century, Hispania was invaded by Germanic Vandals, Suevi, Alans, and Visigoths, resulting in numerous dialects of Vulgar Latin. After the Moorish Conquest in the 8th century, Arabic became a powerful influence in the evolution of Iberian languages, of which Castilian is thought to have evolved on the northern fringes of the Iberian Peninsula in the Christian Kingdom of Castile during the 10th century. Modern Spanish developed with the Readjustment of the Consonants (es:Reajuste de las sibilantes del castellano) that began in 15th-century Castile. The language continues to adopt foreign words from a variety of other languages, as well as developing new words. Wikipedia

The origin is the "Latin"---"El origen es del Latin"

El Español o Castellano, proviene de España de la región de Castilla, está tiene su origen de las lenguas romanticas o del latin. Por eso el portugués, francés , italiano son lenguas romanticas "romanas" y provienen del Latin.

Por eso ustedes nos llaman "Latinos" jeje

Ustedes en cambio provienen de los "anglos" por esos son "Anglosajones", bueno eso lei en wikypedia jeje
