Spanish people or Spaniards constitute the nationality of natives of Spain, a Latin European country in the Iberian Peninsula, in southwestern Europe. The Spanish nationality is in essence multiethnic, reflecting the complex history of Spain. Spain in its current boundaries formed out of a number of predecessor kingdoms in the late 15th century as a result of the Reconquista and the War of the Castilian Succession but it remains divided into a number of sub-nationalities.
The official language of Spain is Spanish (español or castellano), the standard language based on the dialect of the Castilians of central Spain, but the linguistic situation in Spain is more complicated. Still, with the exception of Basque, all languages native to Spain can be grouped as the Iberian Romance languages.
Substantial populations descended from Spanish colonists and immigrants also exist in other parts of the world, most notably in Latin America. These populations of the larger Hispanosphere are discussed under demography of Latin America and from a US perspective at Hispanic and Latino Americans.
