Have you ever wondered how languages evolve? Human migration and exploration enabled intermingling of cultures. As a consequence, trade among them facilitated the exchange of ideas, languages, and technological advancements. Through the blending of European traditional and modern languages, Spanish language dialects were formed. In addition, conquest and spread of religion increased the expansion of the Spanish Language to other parts of the world. The borrowing of different languages increased opportunities to communicate with greater audiences and support global development. This poster presentation describes the development of the Spanish language over the course of history and how it has been influenced by other cultures such as Visigoth, Greek, Arab, and Native American. It also shows the origin of Spanish words. It concludes with an overview of the powerful influence of technology and social media in the Spanish language today.
Abstract
Introduction
FACT: The influence of the Germanic peoples in the Iberian Peninsula dates back to the third century. Historians call the era between the fifth and seventh century the “Visigoth Hispania” due to the settlement of the Visigoths in that area. As a result, the Visigoths left their mark on Spanish linguistics. (Garcia, Carney, and Sandoval 101).
FACT: The Greeks were also attracted to the Iberian Peninsula for trading purposes. During the seventh century, Greek merchants and the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, especially those who lived in the coast villages, developed an important trade. As a consequence, the Spanish language adopted a series of Greek words. (Garcia, Carney, and Sandoval 74).
FACT: Islam spread quickly in Europe due to its military might. Arabic art, music, architecture, and academic knowledge facilitated the Arabic influence in the Spanish (García, Carney, and Sandoval 179)
FACT: Upon arrival to the Americas, conquistadors did not have words in the vocabulary to name fruits, animals, clothing, and utensils they found. As a result, many words of Nahuatl origin were incorporated into the Spanish language (Garcia, Carney, and Sandoval 50),
FACT: Technological innovations have brought words into the English vocabulary that do not exist in the Spanish language. Spanish speakers in the United States, have found ways to adapt those new words into their Spanish vocabulary using the root of the word in English and, usually, adding infinitive forms of the Spanish. Thus creating a new informal language called Spanglish that continues to grow.
Facts Research
Conclusion The interaction among cultures due to exploration, conquest, and trade was the foundation for the development of language. The formation of the Spanish language has its roots in Latin and it has a long history of borrowing words from other cultures. Spanish is a blend of many different languages and it continues to expand at fast rates, and today it is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. It is estimated that more than 300 million people in 21 countries speak Spanish (SIL). Spanish serves many social, cultural, political and economic global needs. The intermingling of modern cultures and the advancements in technology continue to push the evolution of the Spanish language. The creation of Spanglish terms is a small evidence of how changes and differences in languages go hand in hand with new cultural evolution. The development of language is among one of the most remarkable marvels of humanity. Language is a living thing that not only allows for survival and verbal transmission of knowledge and information, but most importantly, it challenges the human capacity to create new concepts and enables dialog among different cultures.

For thousands of years, many cultures have borrowed ideas, traditions, and language from one another in order to survive and thrive. During the fourth century the Visigoths lived under Roman rule, and eventually they replaced their native language with Latin. Thus, they were a Latin-speaking Germanic tribe. Classical Latin was spoken by the aristocrats, whereas Vulgar Latin was spoken by the common people. Once the Roman Empire fell, Vulgar Latin continued to change in different regions, and those transformations were the foundation for the development of the Spanish Language. Therefore, Spanish words of Germanic origin are present in all types of Modern Spanish. During the seventeenth century, Greek speakers brought their language and traditions to the Iberian Peninsula. They were a civilized culture and their vocabulary reflected their cultural and spiritual values. Greek commerce influenced Spanish, particularly with philosophical and scientific terms. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Spanish was carried outside the Peninsula to other parts of the world by soldiers, settlers, priests, and conquistadors. One of the main areas of Spanish extension was the Americas. In 1519, Hernan Cortes arrived in Mexico and he won control over the Aztec kingdom. Soon after, conquistadors imposed the Spanish as the official language. As a consequence, the Spanish language borrowed words from various native languages, including the Nahuatl, Quetchua, and Guarani.
