Evolution of Spanish

  • From the drum-wielding Paleo-Iberian princesses to the modern Spanish people we know and love, their language has come a long way since Latin, following a rather unique evolution featuring influence from Germanic, Celtic, Latin, other Romances, Semitic and Basque languages.
    MIND that this is specifically centred on the Castillian language. In reality, Spain has over a dozen regional languages which all have their own particularities, and this variant was very much born in a Basque bed of influence and only spread artificially under the influence of literature, education and - unfortunately - through General Franco's repression of languages.

      MacRiocaird he read the classic Latin paused while he rushed the others, that’s why. Specially in that middle and awkward phase that goes from Vulgar Latin to the romance bits. It more or less adjusts in old Castilian where we native speakers can read (slowly) the bit while not being lost in translation (thing that anyone can asure if they remember reading Cantar de Mío Cid back in the school days).

      Spanish is called "Cervantes' language", and the meaning is quite fucking literal, in this case. Over 300 years ago, Spanish scholars were looking to create the first Spanish Royal Academy Dictionary, and set out to define what was "proper" Spanish and what wasn't. So they had to start unifying the language and dialects somewhere...
      ... And they chose Don Quixote as their starting point. If it was in that book, it was accepted as "correct Spanish". And then, this was the language that got taught in schools, so the entire Spanish-speaking world kinda agreed to unify under Cervantes' vocabulary. How crazy is that?
      They call English "Shakespeare's language", but I think it's just for show, and to sound fancy. Cervantes' language is actually _his_ language.

      Technically speaking Spanish is older and has much more history than modern English, which is a quite new language in comparison.
      Spanish dates back to the Romance language after the Roman occupation of the Iberic Peninsula, its linked to the history of the Roman, Phoenician and Punic Empires a well as their dead, lost and long gone languages and has its roots in Celtic-Iberic languages, Latin and Phoenician-Punic dialects…
      Probably the origin of the ancient Spanish dialects comes from the Mediterranean Phoenician settlers, merchants and sailors, but it's that sort of things we'll never know…

      His pronunciation is not very good. In order to speak fast in Spanish you need to use the 5 vowels we have. A e I o u. Those letters have lots of sounds in English but in Spanish each one has a single sound. The way Spanish words are structured allows you to speak faster because most of the times you alternate between vowels and consonants. In the case of two consonants you will only find 2.
      So you never have to pronounce words with multiple consonants in other languages.
      So it's not hard to speak fast in Spanish if you just use the 5 vowel system. The problem is that he struggled with the words because of his foreigner accent (from a Spanish point of view)
      Just trying to read fast won't do the trick

      People mostly support those who try to speak Spanish, only 70 million people have managed to have it as a second language, so having another one is cause for celebration.
      Seriously, learn it if possible. We speak it 500 million people in more than 20 countries with countless cultures and landscapes, in the Americas, Europe, Africa and even remnants in Asia and Oceania (even if it is no longer official). Leave behind prejudices and streotypes, only the image of my profile is of a forest in Mexico, near where I live. If you manage to learn Spanish, you will unlock half the world, believe me, you will not regret it.

    Hey, to the man who made this video, I know it's been 10 months since you uploaded this and you probably won't see this comment, but don't worry about the comments a lot of spanish speakers are writing about the pronunciation, it's understandable, and if it's not you're first language, of course pronunciation would sound different from a native, but I think you did a good jod. Keep it up with the great videos :) ok bye

    And as you can plainly see, the pronunciation of the Spanish jota sound evolved hundreds of years after the the end of the reconquista in 1492, thereby clearly debunking the myth that the Spanish jota sound was influenced be Mozarabic.

      Well Portuguese and Spanish is very similar, and people from galicia and Portugal spoke galaic-Portuguese before Spanish was generalised in Spain, so it is natural they would influence each other. Also being so close helps

    Quien está leyendo esto no es un verdadero hispano porque pronunció _consumían_ , _sábado_ , y _concluían_ mal en el español moderno, que debería ser el más fácil porque es el vigente y estas palabras son harto conocidas. Exageró la _rr_ varias veces para tratar de hacerla notable. La palabra _lentejas_ también le dio esfuerzo pronunciarla. Así que no puedo tomar por correctas las versiones anteriores tampoco, que por cierto me sonaron raras en algunas de las palabras en las que yo esperaba un sonido casi idéntico al español actual. Curioso cómo extranjeros estudian el idioma en las referencias citadas, en vez de haber usado gente de la propia España para pronunciar las cosas correctamente. ES NUESTRO IDIOMA! Pero qué bueno que usaron la obra maestra de la lengua como ejemplo. Un aplauso por el esfuerzo, y esto estuvo muy educativo.

    Ps: Your pronunciation of modern spanish was quite good, actually (I've seen some snoby spaniards), just mind the stress in some words. It's vellorí, [be.λo.ɾi'], and sábado [ˈsa.β̞a.ð̞o]

    I've just done a degree in Modern and Medieval Languages (Spanish and Italian) and with a focus on the evolution of Latin into Modern Romance and I have to say this is pretty well done. A few errors in some of the pronunciations here and there (eg. sabádo* in place of sábado) but overall pretty good. But looking out for the major sound changes you pretty much nailed it! Really enjoyed it
