Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world with over 450 million speakers and it's the second most important languages of UN after English. The language has regional differences throughout the Spanish speaking countries. The language name is Castilian or more commonly known as Spanish. Unlike what most people think, Castilian it's not the purest form of the language. The birthplace of the language was actually Castile but the language grammar structure and rules remain standard in all countries. There are phonetic differences and regional accents that vary from country to country but that's secondary. Of course there are thounsands of words coming from the indiginous languages which in turn have enriched Castilian or Spanish from the Americas and have influenced even the "purest" form of Castilian. For example, "chocolate", "maiz", "tomate", "cacahuete" are of nahuatl origin.

Thanks for the link to the Spanish classes. Spanish is a very nice language to learn and speak. It is the child of Latin and widely spoken languages among the European countries.
