Spanish

Object 'Spanish' belongs to the 'World Languages' theme.

Connection to English:

Because they both draw lots of vocabulary from Latin, English and Spanish share many cognates. However, their grammar is not as close, since English grammar has a lot more German influence than Spanish grammar.

Connection to French:

French and Spanish are siblings, they are both Romance languages descended from Latin. French has a much more complicated phonology and spelling system than Spanish.

Connection to German:

German and Spanish share alphabets more or less, as well as a bunch of cognates, but otherwise they are fairly distant from one another.

Connection to Mandarin:

Besides surprising grammatical similarities, there isn't much else connecting Spanish and Mandarin. Their writing systems and their phonologies are completely different.

Connection to Esperanto:

The two languages share a lot of cognates, as do any two romance languages.
