Gendered Language
Spanish, a Romance language derived from Latin, is spoken by over 500 million native speakers worldwide, primarily in Spain, Latin America, and parts of the U.S. and Africa. Known for its clear pronunciation and rhythmic flow, it uses the Latin alphabet with the additional letter "ñ." Spanish grammar features gendered nouns (masculine and feminine), complex verb conjugations, and a relatively flexible word order. Its vocabulary has absorbed influences from Arabic, Indigenous American languages, and others, contributing to diverse regional variations. As the official language of 20 countries, including Mexico, Argentina, and Spain, Spanish is a global language of culture, literature, and communication.
