Abstract
Since its origin the Spanish language, Castilian in its early stages, has presented specific traits that will accompany it over time: imposed as the language over the peninsular linguistic pluralism, extensive expansion, dissimilation and, consequently, a marked aptitude for uniformity, that will become a triggering factor for future conflicts with Latin American countries. The Spanish language institutions and their representatives have not ceased to pursue linguistic homogeneity, formed during the Colonial period and maintained throug Independence, trying to impose their rule to progressively reduce the multiplicity in Latin America. This focus emerges from a nationalist vision of Spain which even today is projected to the entire Hispanic world over the linguistic, and largely in the cultural and economic fields.
