How Spanish and English compare
- Spanish and English are both written in the Latin alphabet, so names and shared words look the same in the English translation.
- Spanish and English are distant relatives in the Indo-European family (the Romance and Germanic branches), but most everyday words are different.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–verb–object, which keeps sentences close in shape.
