Spanische

Spanische is a term that appears primarily as a morphological inflected form rather than as a standalone concept in English-language reference works. In German, it functions as the feminine or mixed form of the adjective spanisch meaning “Spanish” when used with a noun. German adjectives are generally written with a lowercase initial letter, so spanische is usually lowercase, except when it begins a sentence or appears in a title under older orthography.

In everyday German usage, spanische occurs in phrases such as die spanische Küche (the Spanish cuisine), spanische Kunst (Spanish art), or spanische Sprache (Spanish language). The standard noun for the Spanish language is Spanisch, and one would typically say die spanische Sprache or simply Spanisch when referring to the language in a more compact form.

In Dutch, the corresponding contemporary adjective is Spaanse, used similarly to describe things related to Spain. The form Spanische is not standard in modern Dutch; if encountered, it may reflect German influence, a transcription artifact, or an archaic usage.

There is no widely recognized independent entity, organization, or region formally named Spanische in major reference sources. If Spanische appears as a capitalized term, it is likely a proper noun in a specific context, such as a title, a surname, or a stylized place name rather than a distinct encyclopedic topic.

Etymology: Spanisch derives from Latin Hispanius via Germanic roots related to Spain and Spaniards. See also Hispania, Spanish language, and Spanish culture for related concepts.
