I am a Spanish Major, currenty working on completing a B.A. in Modern Languages/Spanish. Technically, their are five major dialects in Spain; Catalan, Argonese, Galician, Leonese, Astur-Leonese, Basque/Euskara, oops forgot, Andulucian, Vallencian, Cantabrian Montañés, etc., I think you get the point I'm trying to make here. I don't want to come off as an elitest snob linguist, such as are some people who are in the linguistics field of research. I just wanted to thoroughly express that there are numerous variations of Peninsular Spanish. Iberian-penisular laguages, are a latin-iberian romance language. They are descendants of a mixture of mainly Latin and Arabic, Mozarbaric, and the origins of almost all of these dialects are kn´´own to be originated from either Latin or Arabic. However, Basque,Euskara, is of unknown origins. The other varieties of Spanish, that are spoken throughout the entire world are too numerous to state here. South America, Central America, Hispanic Spanish, African, etc., makes Spanish the second most spoken language in the world. Chinese being numbe one.
I just couldn't resist replying to this topic. I have always loved studies in linguistics and languages. I have studied, German, Latin, French. I'm really interested in a career in Linguistcs. Especially, studying Basque, because no one knows where it came from.
¡Gracías, Nos vemos!
