- marc_abonce 4y agoWhile the RAE recommends calling the language Spanish, it recognizes that Castilian is a synonym of Spanish. [1] My personal experience also corroborates this. In common usage, Castilian is the same language as Spanish and in fact I hear people from Spain refer to the language as Castilian, even when talking about the language as spoken in Latin America, regardless of the Academy's prescription.

- elnatro 4y agoCalling the language “Castilian” or “Spanish” would depend on what region are you based on. In mine, “Spanish” is more used, and in most parts of the Americas.
