Knowing Wonderful Spanish Language and Its People

While the whole world regard the famous language of Spain as Spanish, the people of the said country simply regard the tongue as Castillan, the country's official language. Moreover, as part of Spain's four major tongue, together with Catalan, Galician, and Basque, the Spanish language belongs to the purported Iberian Romance Languages. The rationale for this is due to its observable Latin roots, while at the same time, it can be easily understood by all speakers since there's little difference in diphthongs and grammatical framework. However, when they are with other nationalities, the Spanish people still passionately call Castillan as EspaƱol to set apart the language but will still go back to its original term when dealing with countrymen.

But despite the strict classification in Spain, Castillan Spanish has turned into a tool for diffusing the Spanish culture and influence worldwide throughout history and up to the present where it is viewed as a major player in world communications by becoming the official or among the authorized languages of Latin America, European Union, United Nations, Organization of American States, and South American Community of Nations. Thus, more and more people are able to speak with full self-reliance that they will be clearly understood by foreigners -- a proof that Castillan Spanish is a celebrated language that have already influenced a considerable number of nationalities.
