Though Spanish originated in Spain, it has since grown dramatically outside of the country of origin. In fact, by numbers alone, Spain as a country has only the third most native Spanish speakers. Both Mexico and the United States have more native speakers of the Spanish language. Don't be fooled however into thinking that Spain is losing its Spanish speaking population. The numbers are due to Spain having a much smaller population, with nearly all (99%) of the residents still speaking Spanish. Mexico and America come in at a 99% and 15% Spanish speaking population respectively."; $lang_desc="Whether you are learning Spanish in South America, taking an online Spanish class, or plan to enrol yourself in one of the many Spanish language immersion schools, our English to Spanish dictionary is always being updated with new Spanish words which makes an excellent supplement for those trying to learn how to speak Spanish."; $disclaimer="The Spanish to English Dictionary featured at the Chromlea Language Tutor may contain some errors in the Spanish language.

What Special Characters are Found in the Spanish Alphabet?

Latin Letters and Accents:

Using the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, D...) and the character "ñ" as well as some accents ("é"), and you will have all that is needed to write in Spanish.

* It may be noted that though not a standard, accents are typically omitted in capital letters.


Inverted Characters:

Spanish question marks and Spanish exclamation marks are used in the same manner as traditional question/exclamation marks in English, except that the characters are written upside down. To finish off any interrogative or exclamatory clauses you can use the inverted Spanish question mark ("¿") or inverted Spanish exclamation mark ("¡") in place of "?" and "!" respectively.
