spanish+language+history

K.T. says..... The four languages in the bubbles to the left contributed to the develop of vulgar latin. From that, the Arabic language was derived. Then the arabic contributed to the Spanish. The dotted line is showing that some phrases and words contributed directly to the Spanish language as well. This is pretty close. See Julia's response to A.F. below.

C.L. says... It shows that all the languages came directly for Vulgar Latin, except Spanish which came from it indirectly by way of Arabic Actually, first it came from the Celts and the Iberians which made Celtics.Then Carthiginians and the Romans made Proper Latin. anonymous

A.F. says.... I'm thinking that it is a bubble map that describes the origin and history of Spanish. All the 4 bubbles on the left have contributed to Vulgar Latin who have led to the creation of Spanish and Arabic. Actually,first Proper Latin,Celtic,& Phoenician made Vulgar Latin.Then Vulgar Latin mixed with Arabic and made Spanish. But true about the map showing the making of Spanish. :) K.B. says.... I see different languages that funneled to make Latin. Spanish later came from that??? it yes it did and it is true. ﻿ ﻿Actually,the Phoenicia,Celtic,and Proper Latin form Vulgar Latin.Then Vulgar Latin and Arabic make spanish.you were right about languages being funneled to make Latin. But it's Vulgar Latin.

Thank you everyone for participating. Julia's response to A.F. was very thorough and correct. Teachers, I hope the bubble wasn't too confusing and we ALL APPRECIATE YOUR TIME!!! Sra. Thomas
