Answer 
The Spanish language, also known as Castilian, developed from Vulgar Latin, the spoken Latin used by common people in the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire spread into the Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Spain and Portugal), Vulgar Latin mixed with local languages, particularly Celtic and Iberian. Over time, this evolved into the early forms of Spanish, influenced by Arabic during the Moorish occupation, and later by other languages as Spain expanded its empire. By the 15th and 16th centuries, Spanish, as we know it today, became the dominant language of the region.

The standardization and spread of Spanish were further advanced by the Spanish Empire's expansion into the Americas and beyond.
