Tips

history
卡斯蒂利亚 transliterates 'Castilla / Castile'. The medieval Kingdom of Castile (卡斯蒂利亚王国) merged with Aragon in 1469 through the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, forming the basis of modern Spain. The Castilian dialect became standard Spanish, which is why 卡斯蒂利亚语 (Castilian) is a synonym for 西班牙语 (Spanish).
