Castellano
Castellano (Castilian) is the official term for Spanish used in the Spanish Constitution of 1978, but español (Spanish) and lengua española (Spanish language) are often used when referring to Spanish as opposed to French, Italian or German, and also in linguistic or academic contexts. Elsewhere, the term español is often avoided because of its associations with either the former colonizing country (in the case of Latin America) or (in Spain) with the domination of Spanish over the other languages spoken in Spain.
