And yet Argentine Spanish, Mexican Spanish, and Castilian Spanish have very distinct pronunciations. It's not that. If anything, it's media. Whether you're in the south of Argentina or on the Caribbean shore of Central America you are familiar with Mexican films, Mexican telenovelas, Mexican KZreadrs, Mexican TikTokers, Mexican singers, etc. Spanish speakers practice a common version of Spanish every day online. Obviously there's lots of content from elsewhere, but if you're getting your hair cut in Colombia it's a Mexican show on the tv.

Just a couple inaccuracies I've found throughout the video, for those who may care: 1:18 The Gothic language didn't become part of German: Gothic was East Germanic as explained in the video, while modern German evolved from West Germanic dialects. The Gothic language simply died. 2:00 Portugal never unified under the rule of the Catholic Kings, and Castilian didn't become a "state" language under their rule. Dynastic union didn't mean true political centralism in Spain until the Bourbons a few centuries later, and Castilian didn't become widely used and known by people like Catalans, Galicians and Basques until very recently in History. Still nowadays millions of Spanish citizens speak a language other than Castilian as their first language. Also the pre dynastic union map erases (part of) the Kingdom of Aragon.

I understand that the talk is for the "general public" who knows little about the history of Spain. However, there are more inaccuracies than those you mention, juangm95: the capital under the Catholic King & Queen was not Madrid. It was Philip II, their great-grandson, who decided to move the capital to Madrid. Moreover, there is a theory which suggests that Castillian became "the common language of Spain" partially because it was Castille -or rather Queen Isabella- who financed the trips to "The Indies", but also because Castillian had kind of become the " common language" among different language communities in the Peninsula, for "trading". How much truth the theory holds is worth analysing.

Just another information you need to know. I am Moroccan, and our country is very close to Spain, and thus we used to get in touch with Spanish media everyday, as well as Spanish language. The southern part of our country, alongside with the Rif, were Spanish colonies in 20th century, and thus we still use Spanish words like "kuzina", "semana", "adios", "grazias" and "manana" when we speak to other Arabic speakers - which made them confused a lot.

The answer as to why Spanish has not fragmented can be found, at least partly, in the network of Spanish Language Academies, which regulate and prescribe "correct" or "international" Spanish in collaboration with each other. This ensure that Spanish remains one language even though it keeps getting new vocabulary from each region it is spoken to. Chilean Spanish is the most different one to the other dialects, imo. Also, in addition to Spanglish, Portuñol is another border fusion of languages between Spanish and Portuguese, and it is regularly spoken in Northern Uruguay, Southern Brazil and parts of Paraguay and Misiones, Argentina. Just adding info to the video....

I don’t think these institutions actually control the language in the long term, at least not directly. Perhaps having Spanish Academies that prescribes the same orthography and formal dialect does make Spanish dialects less closed off, and thus less likely to diverge, but I think just not having one country that dominates the hispanosphere is the dominant factor.

The way the map of the Iberian peninsula is shown is a massive simplification of what languages are spoken in the region. Not only that, it also neglects that to this day and especially in the past, Galician, Basque, Catalan, Asturian, to name a few, were spoken in tandem with castillian. Even today in modern-day Spain, the word "castillian" is used as much as "Spanish". Films posters mentioned that itself is dubbed in "castillian", for example. Calling it "Spanish" was something the castillian crown did as a means to legitimise its enforcement of castillian over the kingdoms it held, as well as calling it "Spain". Last but the not least, the way the map is shown implies that Spanish was spoken in Portugal for centuries starting in the 1500s and this was simply not the case. In fact, it's incredibly wrong. Even during the brief Iberian Union (60years), castillian was spoken by some of the nobility and that was it. A brief history is one thing, stating wrong facts and heavily misrepresenting other languages and their cultures is just bad and misinformation.

Missed Guinea Ecuatorial. And like some else below already mentioned, my language has a fixed sound for every letter regardless of where it is put in a text or word, while for example French is a smorgasburg of sound variations and pronunciations. But I would add music, literature and Mexican soap operas, El Chavo, and Spanish movies about Spanish folkore that have taught us all since childhood the European variation of our mother tongue as well.

In Paraguay, Spanish is mixed with the local indigenous language of Guarani. That mix is called Jopará, and since more than 90% of the population is bilingual in Guarani and Spanish, almost everyone can speak and understand Jopará. It's like Spanglish or Portuñol, except those languages tend to be used by people who speak one language better than the other, as opposed to bilingual people. Sometimes when speaking Spanish, Paraguayans might borrow loan words and auxiliary/functional words from Guarani that mean nothing in Spanish, out of habit, like "ko", "pio", "hina", etc. Same goes for speaking Guarani and borrowing Spanish loan words like "pero" or "la". It's all considered Jopará.

The Spanish language has something that, as far as I know, no other language has: the Real Academia de la Lengua Española. This is an organization in Spain that dictates how the language most be treated from pronunciations to spelling and to grammar. And these decisions get passed down all the way to schools all over Latin America. As a result, even though there are particular idiosyncrasies depending on where the language is spoken, there is no such thing as Spanish dialects with 2 exceptions. 1) Argentina. There, colloquial Spanish is an adaptation of the conjugation for vos and vosotros. Therefore, as an example, the conjugation "teneis" became "tenés." But when it comes to more formal writing, standard Spanish is used. 2) Spanglish, as you mentioned. And, indeed it's becoming a new language on its own. I live in California, and as a native Spanish speaker, I cringe when I hear the things that pass as Spanish here. Not only are new words being invented (such as "aseguranza" for "seguro," as a translation of "insurance."), but a mix of English and Spanish grammar is happening. As much as it hurts my ears, I'm eager to see how Spanglish will develop with time.

No.

The "Catholic Kings" did not combine every regional kingdom into a unified Nation. They didn't even unify all Iberian "regional" crowns into a single State (like Portugal). As a matter of fact, a lot of these nations still exist today.

Such a great video idea! I’d love to see this as a series that delves into more languages.

Fascinating video 💯 thank you

Really interesting video, excellent presentation. Muchas gracias, Ted Ed, por este video.

Spanish is also spoken in Equatorial Guinea

Me encantó el video 😁❤️ éste particularly, and many others as well.

Ted Ed always creates insane education video

I feel that Spanish may eventually fracture among its speakers by some degree in a couple of centuries like Latin did. We can already differ certain dialects from others very quickly. This difference is more pronounced in the Caribbean were their dialects are not only pronouncing words differently, they are also being spelled differently. Despite the fact that most mainland speakers say Caribbean dialects are “uneducated accents” but they forget that Romans said the same thing about Latin speakers outside of Rome.

The Carribean way of speaking Spanish is still very similar to Canarian Spanish.

Excelente video, ¡gracias TED Ed!.

One of the reasons of the stability of Spanish is the Real Academia de la Lengua that sets the grammar and rules of use. Spanish had dictionaries earlier than English for example.

Super educational as always and great timing given the new Pokémon presents and the new game being based in Spain!

Minute 1:22, when Spain started to speak Arabic they turned the map to desert and cactus trees, I was wondering Ted Ed is supposed to fight stereotype with the truth!! the historical accuracy is important!! When I was in Alhambra in Granada, I was reading that water management of Arabs of that era still impress the world today, of how by little of water resources they could turn the landscapes to green!! who audit those videos anyway !!!!

I hope they make videos about the histories of more languages.

Thank you so much, you just saved my live

Nuestro idioma por diverso que sea , por lejos que estemos uno de los otros siempre nos hará uno .Amo este video, muy bonito

It's a pity there isn't even a single mention on judeoespañol, the language that Sephardic Jews traditionally speak. It's intelligible for Spanish-speakers because it mainly comes from 15th century Spanish. Also, the map of 1492 is so wrong, because Portugal didn't become part of Spain on that year.

I understand that the contribution of Arabic to Spanish is closer to 4 thousand words and roots. As it happens in English where you have words with the same meaning that come from Anglo-Saxon or from Latin such as Face and Visage the same happens in Spanish with words that comes from Latin or Arabic. For example pool in Spanish can be called piscina ( from Latin) or alberca (from Arabic). Another example is the word for oil is oleo (Latin) or aceite (Arabic). As you can see most words that come from Arabic in Spanish start with “al” or “a” due to the inclusion of the Arabic article”al”.

Amazing video

For whatever reason, Spanish gained a remarkable stability very early: the claim made in the documentary that the Spanish in 1492 was "very different" from today's is plainly refuted by just reading the famous Coplas por la muerte de su padre (Verses To The Death Of His Father), written around 1476. It's basically modern Spanish with just a few spelling differences here and there, presenting no difficulty to any modern reader. By contrast, Shakespeare, who wrote about a century later, can only be read in the original by a very educated reader.

Grande, maybe you can do a history of İtalian next? İ'm learning it and there's not much coverage of its origin story.

The part you cover at 1:40 is wrong in that, though all of what is now Spain was unified into one country, Portugal was not, and remained independent until much later, where they were shortly conquered by the Spanish before gaining back their independence. The map you show misrepresents this by absorbing the whole Iberian peninsula into one, and, later, said map even says that the Portuguese residents spoke Spanish, with the speech bubble placed on Portuguese territory, even though the Portuguese have never stopped speaking Portuguese.

This is very interesting I had never heard this story before! Thank you!!

Ignoring Equatorial Guinea as usual. Also, and I'm surprised a Spanish speaking lecturer made this mistake common mistake among English speakers, but as always, Mexico is not Central America, it's North America

¡Genial! Difícil ya determinar donde empieza un lenguaje y mas que tanto se modifica para saber si sigue siendo el mismo. Great! It's hard to know when does a languange starts y how far has changed

Another amazing video! Just my idea, it would be cool to see a video on my writing system, Hangul (used in Korea). As far as I know, it's the only writing system that was invented and not grown

You didn’t mention the Real Academia Española.
