Spanish(Latin America) language in the Americas (Spanish: español americano - "American Spanish") refers to the Spanish (or Castilian) spoken in the Americas, as opposed to European Spanish and African Spanish. This grouping is somewhat arbitrary, as there is great diversity among the various American dialects. Of the more than 469 million people who speak Spanish as their mother tongue, more than 418 million are in Latin America and the United States.

There are numerous regional particularities and idiomatic expressions within Spanish. In American Spanish, loanwords directly from English are relatively more frequent, and often foreign spellings are left intact. A notorious example is the use of the word e-mail in American Spanish instead of the calque, correo electrónico, that is used in Spain. In Latin America they speak of la computadora while in Spain it's el ordenador, and each word sounds foreign in the region where it is not used.
