HISTORYOF SPANISH

The language known today as Spanish is derived from a

dialect ofspoken Latin that evolved in the north-centralpart of the Iberian Peninsula after the fall of the Western

Roman Empire in the fifth century. A written standard

was developed in the cities of Toledo (13th to 16th

centuries) and Madrid (from the 1560s). Over the past1,000 years, the language expanded south to

the Mediterranean Sea, and was later transferred to

the Spanish colonial empire, most notably to

theAmericas. Today it is the official language of 21

countries and ofnumerous international organizations. Itis also one of the six official languages of the United

Nations.

CULTUREOF SPAIN Phoenicians and of the Moorish 781 years (711 AD to 1492 AD) of

rule. In the areas of language and religion, the Ancient Romans left alasting legacy. The subsequent course of Spanish history addedother elements to the country's culture and traditions.

The Visigothic Kingdom left a sense of a united Christian Hispaniathat was going to be welded in the Reconquista. Muslim influenceswere strong during the Middle Ages. The Spanish language derivesdirectly from Vulgar Latin and has minor influences from pre-Romanlanguages (Iberian and Celtic) and other languages like Gothic andArabic. Another influence was the minority Jewish population in somecities. After the defeat of the Muslims during the Christian

Reconquista ("Reconquest") period between 1000 and 1492, Spainbecame an almost entirely Roman Catholic country. In addition, thenation's history and its Mediterranean and Atlantic environment haveplayed a significant role in shaping its culture, and also in shapingother cultures, such as the culture of Latin America through thecolonization of the Americas.

By the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Spaniards made

expressions of cultural diversity easier than it had been for the lastseven centuries.[clarification needed] This occurred at the sameperiod that Spain became increasingly drawn into a diverseinternational culture.

Spain has the second highest number of UNESCO World HeritageSites in the world, with a total of 44.

LITERATURE

The term "Spanish literature" refers to literature written in the Spanishlanguage, including literature composed by Spanish and Latin Americanwriters. It may include Spanish poetry, prose, and novels.

Spanish literature is the name given to the literary works written in Spainthroughout time, and those by Spanish authors worldwide. Due to historic,geographic, and generational diversity, Spanish literature has known a greatnumber of influences and is very diverse. Some major movements can beidentified within it.[examples needed]

Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, also called "La Celestina"

Highlights include the Cantar de Mio Cid, the oldest preserved Spanish cantar

de gesta. It is written in medieval Spanish, the ancestor of modern Spanish. The Celestina is a book published anonymously by Fernando de Rojas in

1499. This book is considered to be one of the greatest in Spanish literature,and traditionally marks the end of medieval literature and the beginning of theliterary renaissance in Spain.

Besides its importance in the Spanish literature of the Golden Centuries,Lazarillo de Tormes is credited with founding a literary genre, the picaresque

novel, so called from Spanish pcaro, meaning "rogue" or "rascal". In thesenovels, the adventures of the pcaro expose injustice while simultaneouslyamusing the reader.

Published by Miguel de Cervantes in two volumes a decade apart, DonQuixote is the most influential work of literature to emerge from the SpanishGolden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary canon. As a foundingwork of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the top oflists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.
