Spanish is the result of vulgar(meaning common) Latin mixing with the Iberian dialects, and at certain times, Arabic; in this way French is the mixing of vulgar Latin and the Gaulic dialects. Latin has many other children (Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Romansch, Catalan--the list of Romance languages goes on and on) and one sister, Greek (Latin and Greek share a very large number of words and forms). The adjective *latin* has almost solely come to mean *hispanic* but this is not altogether correct. Latin refers to anyone with Latin (roman) influence--Spain (and most of its colonies), France, Italy, etc etc.

Latin is a ineffective language that grew to become into spoken with the help of the romans 2000 years in the past. Many church leaders study it. Latin united statesa. is the spanish speaking worldwide places interior the Americas. a superb variety of spanish, and a few got here from Latin. besides the undeniable fact that that's not finished Latin.

Both spanish and latin belong to the indo-european group of languages. The difference is that spanish belongs to the group of romance languages that descend from latin (italic language). That is why spanish has the same roots as latin.

as the other Romance languages, Spanish comes from Latin. Spanish is spoken, but nobody speaks latin nowadays

Spanish, as Italian and French, derives from Latin so it has Latin roots but it is not Latin. I make an example : in Italian strada means street and it derives from Latin strata, even the English word comes from Latin, did you Know that many English words derive from Latin too? for example wall comes from vallum. bye from Italy.

spanish, french, and italian (the romance languages) are based on latin. you can see differences in all of them but some similarities too especially in word bases.

Some. The most visible I think is that latin doesnt have extra wording, like in,from and stuff in sentence structure.
