How did the spanish, english and french were able to communicate with the natives and learn their language when they first arrive in the Americas?
How did they were able to achieve communication and alliances so quickly with people that spoke languages that had absolutly no relations with theirs. Did they have some skilled translators with them? Were they prepared? Who were the first people to decode their languages?

How did Spanish come to be the most spoken language in Central and South America?
It always blows my mind how wide spread Spanish became in the whole of South America and Central America. When considering something like the French occupation of England, English didn't ever really go away, it adopted a lot of French words. The same doesn't seem to be said for the Spanish speaking world, despite it being much farther from Spain, and covering a much larger land mass.
Maybe this is more of a historical question, but my knowledge about this is very lacking, and I find it interesting. I suppose the same could be said for Portuguese and Brazil, but that seems like another topic.

Did Mestizos, people of mixed Spanish and Indigenous heritage, in Spanish colonies in the Americas ever speak pidgin and/or creole languages, a mix of Spanish and Indigenous languages?
If they ever did, where, and what were the languages like? Why did most mestizos end up just speaking Spanish?

In Spain the youth use loads of words from English instead of their Spanish equivalent, increasingly so. Is this the same in other languages?
In Spain, young people are starting to use and steal words from English, but after speaking with people from Latin America (except Mexico), they tell me they don't really do this and their words are more traditional (even if they are different from the word that's used in mainland Spain). I'm talking about words which there is a Spanish word for but have now been replaced, rather than inventions or objects that use the same word in every language.
For example, in Spain it's now common to hear 'el deadline' instead of plazo de entrega o fecha lΓmite (or so I'm told).
I was wondering if this is common among other languages or whether this is more unique to Spain?

The new patch locks your language based on the zone. If you are a Turkish playing in PerΓΊ, you'll have your game in Spanish, voicelines included.
In the past you could change the LCULocalPreferences, inside Lolfolder > Config.
Now this by-pass has been denied to us, it automatically changes.
I know this subreddit is probably 95% people from the USA, so you won't notice, but I don't want to hear this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lTx5fejQcE

Native Spanish speakers that work in an environment where English is the primary language, how do you feel about native English speakers trying to speak to you in Spanish?
I work for a large MNE (multi-national enterprise/company) and I'm based in the US. I have daily meetings with my local team that include a number of team members from Mexico via telepresence. I know basic Spanish, but never really speak it to my international peers. My question is how would you feel if I included basic pleasantries in Spanish at the beginning/end of meetings? i.e. "Good morning; buenas dias" or "Thanks everyone, have a good one; gracias, tengas un buen dia"
My concerns are 1. I'm worried this might seem as patronizing to my Spanish speaking coworkers
And 2. I don't want to misspeak by misconjugatng a word, or not applying the proper word gender on accident
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

TIL that the normal intelligible outdoor range of the male human voice in still air is 180 m (590 ft 6.6 in). The silbo, the whistled language of the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Canary Island of La Gomera, is intelligible under ideal conditions at 8 km (5 miles).

Does Spanish have the English equivalent of βportmanteausβ in the language? If so what are some examples?
As we know βportmanteausβ in English are extremely popular and are typically words created by mixing two words together like the following examples:
Spanglish
Workaholic
Mansplaining
Guesstimate
Frenemy
Ebonics (ebony/phonics)
Crunk
Chillax
Brunch
And like a million more of course. Interested to see if Spanish has any equivalents.
