[00:00:00]With the Roman conquest of the region, Latin became the dominant language.

[00:00:06]Following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Visigoths ruled the Iberian Peninsula.

[00:00:12]During the 8th century, the Moors, which were Muslims from North Africa, invaded and controlled much of the region.

[00:00:19]These historical influences left their mark on the Spanish language, introducing Arabic words and influencing pronunciation.

[00:00:28]Over several centuries, Christian kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula gradually reclaimed territory from the Moors in a process known as the Reconquista.

[00:00:37]As Christian kingdoms expanded, so did the influence of the Castilian dialect.

[00:00:44]1492 is often highlighted in Spanish language history because Columbus reached the Americas, leading to significant linguistic and cultural exchanges between Spanish and indigenous languages.

[00:00:56]The Reconquista concluded with the capture of Granada from the Moors and the Alhambra decree ordered the expulsion of Jews from Spain.
