As Castille became increasingly dominanting within the "union", Castellano was eventually refered to as Spanish. As the conquistadores usually hailed from Castille, that was the patronym that stuck with the natives they encountered. In nahuatl (Aztec language) spanish is called "castilla"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11415684.post-1164789683265364092006-11-29T03:41:00.000-05:002006-11-29T03:41:00.000-05:00+JMJ+There must be some Conquistador history tied ...+JMJ+<BR/><BR/>There must be some Conquistador history tied up in that, though I don't know what it is.
