Origins of the Spanish language and accent
Spain originated from the Iberian Peninsula, around about the 6th century BC. The first settlers spoke Celtic and were mainly from central Europe.
In 19 BC the Romans came to Spain and the people began to speak Latin, or Vulgar Latin as it was known. It remained the language of Spain until 719AD when Spain was invaded by the Moors. At this time the people who lived in the conquered areas began to speak Arabic, while other regions continued to speak Latin.
By the 13th century, the language spoken in and around the city of Toledo began to become the Spanish written standard and as Spain began to win back the land from the Arabs, the language spread from the north to the south. The Spanish language spoken by Southern and Central Spain became Castilian Spanish. Whilst regions in the north were known as Galician, Catalan and Basque. The Castilian languages has around 4,000 words with roots in Arabic, thanks to the Moorish invasion.
Spanish has a number of dialects. The most famous being the Andaluz accent. It comes from Andalusia in Southern Spain. People there have a tendency to cut out letters or the entire ending of a word, so that for instance Lado becomes Lao, which makes it very difficult for foreigners and other Spanish speakers to understand them.
Mexico has a large number of Spanish speakers who settled there in about the 16th century. They have a distinct accent, although the Spanish is virtually the same and is mutually intelligible.

Friendly and efficient service
The speed of response, and friendly, efficient service from all staff was quite exceptional. Matinee particularly stands out by putting the customer’s needs first, even when the job is relatively small and a bit of a technical challenge. I would strongly recommend Matinee for any subtitling work.
