</p><p>This list contains Spanish words with their English translations. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Spanish-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section below.)
</p><p>Spanish is a Romance language derived from Latin. It is the national language of Spain as well as of most Latin American countries. Spanish is spoken in many parts of the United States, in regions which once were part of Mexico as well as areas where Hispanic immigrants have settled.
</p>
<h3> Language Characteristics  </h3>
<p>Spanish words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine or feminine. <i><b>El</b></i> (the masculine form of <i><b>the</b></i>) is used with masculine words. <i><b>La</b></i> (the feminine form of <i><b>the</b></i>) is used with feminine words. Masculine words generally end in <i><b>o, r, l,</b></i> and <i><b>ma</b></i>. Feminine words generally end in <i><b>a, ión, tad, dad, tud,</b></i> and <i><b>umbre</b></i>. Nouns which end in <i><b>or</b></i> are masculine; an <i><b>a</b></i> is added to indicate the feminine version.
</p><p>Most adjectives used to describe nouns are masculine or feminine. Adjectives which end in <i><b>o</b></i> are masculine. Feminine adjectives end in <i><b>a</b></i>. For example, the married son would be translated as <i>el hijo casado</i>, while the married daughter would be translated as <i>la hija casada</i>.
</p>
<h4> Variant Forms of Words  </h4>
<p>In Spanish, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. <i>Who—whose—whom or marry—marries— married</i> are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives the standard form of each Spanish word. As you read Spanish records, you will need to be aware that some words vary with usage.
</p><p>Plural forms of Spanish words usually add s to the singular noun as well as to the article and adjective. Thus, <i>el abuelo materno</i> (the maternal grandparent) become <i>los abuelos maternos</i> (the maternal grandparents).
</p>
<h4> Alphabetical Order  </h4>
<p>Written Spanish uses three letters in addition to the 26 letters used in the English alphabet. These are <b>ñ</b> and the letter combinations <b>ch</b> and <b>ll</b>, which are considered single letters. The letter <b>w</b>, although not part of the Spanish alphabet, is included since it is found in a few names of foreign origin. The following list shows the letters in alphabetical order:
</p>
<dl><dd>a, b, c, ch, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, ñ, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
</dd></dl>
<p>This word list follows the standard English alphabetical order.
</p><p>In Spanish indexes of surnames, it is important to note that prefixes (such as <i>De la Torre</i>) may be ignored in alphabetization. Be sure to search under both parts of a name, for example, <i>De la Torre</i> and <i>Torre, de la</i>.
</p>
<h4> Accent Marks  </h4>
<p>Vowels in Spanish can carry an accent mark: <i><b>á, é, í, ó,</b></i> and <i><b>ú</b></i>. Accent marks do not affect alphabetical order.
</p>
<h4> Spelling  </h4>
<p>Although Spanish spelling was standardized in the mid-1700s, scribes usually spelled words the way they sounded. Generally, variations between old and modern spellings should not cause too much trouble for the researcher. In Spanish, the following variations are common:
</p>
<dl><dd><i><b>ch</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>c</b></i>
</dd><dd><i><b>e</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>i</b></i>
</dd><dd><i><b>j</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>g</b></i>
</dd><dd><i><b>j</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>x</b></i>
</dd><dd><i><b>j</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>i</b></i>
</dd><dd><i><b>y</b></i> &#160;used for&#160; <i><b>i</b></i>
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd>the addition or removal of an <i><b>h</b></i>
</dd><dd>the doubling of letters
</dd></dl>
<p>Examples:
</p>
<dl><dd><dl><dd>
</dd></dl>

<h3> Key Words  </h3>
<p>To find and use specific types of Spanish records, you will need to know some key words in Spanish. This section gives key genealogical terms in English and the Spanish words with the same or similar meanings.  
</p><p>For example, in the first column you will find the English word <i>marriage</i>. In the second column you will find Spanish words with meanings such as <i>marry, marriage, wedding, wedlock, unite, legitimate, joined,</i> and other words used in Spanish records to indicate marriage. Variant endings of Spanish words are given in parentheses.

Spanish words for persons, places, and things (nouns) are classified as masculine or feminine. '''''El''''' (the masculine form of '''''the''''') is used with masculine words. '''''La''''' (the feminine form of '''''the''''') is used with feminine words. Masculine words generally end in '''''o, r, l,''''' and '''''ma'''''. Feminine words generally end in '''''a, ión, tad, dad, tud,''''' and '''''umbre'''''. Nouns which end in '''''or''''' are masculine; an '''''a''''' is added to indicate the feminine version.

Written Spanish uses three letters in addition to the 26 letters used in the English alphabet. These are '''ñ''' and the letter combinations '''ch''' and '''ll''', which are considered single letters.

=== Key Words  ===
 
To find and use specific types of Spanish records, you will need to know some key words in Spanish. This section gives key genealogical terms in English and the Spanish words with the same or similar meanings.
 
For example, in the first column you will find the English word ''marriage''. In the second column you will find Spanish words with meanings such as ''marry, marriage, wedding, wedlock, unite, legitimate, joined,'' and other words used in Spanish records to indicate marriage. Variant endings of Spanish words are given in parentheses.

=== Racial Terminology  ===
 
In colonial Latin America, racial classification was often recorded in the Catholic parish registers and government documents, often with no degree of accuracy. The meaning of some of these terms may vary in some Spanish-speaking countries.
