which languages are similar to spanish?

Answer 1

Spanish comes from the mother language Latin, spoken by the ancient Romans in the Roman Empire. They conquered most of Europe and thus several languages have a common origin and are more or less similar, depending on other languages that later had also influence on them.
Romance languages, as they are called are:
- Spanish
- Italian
- Portuguese
- French
- Romanian
- A language spoken by some people in Switzerland: Rumansch.
Besides these languages, within Spain there are other languages that come from Latin too:
- The official language of Spain: Castilian
- Gallego
- Catalan
I hope that this answers your question

Answer 2

Portuguese, as a example take a look at the name of an Almodovar film in both languages:
¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto?
Que fiz eu para merecer isto?
qué = que
he hecho = fiz
yo = eu
para = para
merecer = merecer
esto = isto

Another example:
"(1)La atracción gravitacional de la Luna y la del Sol son causantes de las mareas"
"(1) A atração gravitacional da Lua e a do Sol causam as marés"

the structure is exactly the same. The words change a bit:
la = a
de la = da
del = do
y = e
de las = das ... or in this case "as"

Italian and French are also close to spanish:
L'attraction gravitationnelle de la Lune et celle du Soleil sont responsables pour les marées (i am guessing my French is not very good!!)
