Spanish language

The Spanish language was a Human language originating in the Earth region of Spain and spoken by the Spanish. The language was also widely used in North and South America.

Up until the 20th century, "Negro", the Spanish word for the color black, was frequently used by English speakers to describe dark-skinned people of African descent. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain"; DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
