What languages are derived from Spanish?

Spanish itself is a Romance language, meaning it's derived from Latin. There aren't any languages directly derived from Spanish.

However, Spanish has influenced several languages, particularly in the Americas. Here are some examples:

* Ladino: A Judeo-Spanish language spoken by Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain in the 15th century. It's heavily influenced by Spanish, but also retains elements of Hebrew and Arabic.

* Chavacano: A creole language spoken in the Philippines, with Spanish as its primary influence. It features a mix of Spanish vocabulary with grammatical structures similar to the indigenous languages of the Philippines.

* Papiamento: A creole language spoken in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, which is heavily influenced by Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch.

* Spanglish: A language variety used in some parts of the United States and Latin America, which mixes Spanish and English. It's not a distinct language but rather a blend of the two.

It's important to note that these languages are not direct descendants of Spanish but rather hybrid languages that have borrowed significantly from Spanish. They maintain their own distinct linguistic features.
