Spanish is the official language of the Spanish State and the predominant one, but 6 of the 19 regions have other co-official languages in addition to Spanish such as Catalan, Galician and Basque. Most of the people in those regions are bilingual and use one language or the other in different degrees depending on the situation.
The Spanish spoken in Spain (often referred to as Castilian) is so different to the variants spoken in Latin America that even natives from each country can misunderstand one another. Besides differences in terminology, expressions and idioms, verb conjugations, grammatical rules and uses, please note that several ordinary words in one Spanish variant have insulting connotations in another one.
At Canva, we will always use the informal you to address the user (tú) instead of the more formal and impersonal one (usted). For information on the do's and don'ts when writing in Spanish for Spain, please contact our localisation team.
