Spanish

Spanish is a secondary language of the Unified Earth Government and, by extension, the United Nations Space Command. Having its roots in Latin, Spanish bears many similarities to English and is used in various places throughout the UNSC, but has seen diminishing use due to the UEG-wide adoption of English as its primary language.

Spanish is spoken mostly in areas where it saw prominence in earlier eras, such as Latin America and Cuba. Most of the population of Madrigal was of Hispanic ancestry and thus spoke Spanish fluently. After the planet was glassed by the Covenant, the survivors established the Rubble, a self-sufficient community in the asteroids surrounding the nearby gas giant Hesiod; most on the habitats of the Rubble had Hispanic names. Spanish was also spoken on the colony planet Verge, as evidenced by the name name of the city Ciudad de Arias and by signs in the city's subway tunnels.

Many members of the UNSC Marine Corps speak Spanish, including Corporal Perez and the deceased Private Manuel Mendoza.
