EN: Castilian; Spanish
The formal, almost historical, way of referring to Spaniards or the Spanish language. It’s what your lola called the Spanish friars in stories. Today, if you say you speak 'Kastelyano', you sound like you learned it from a 19th-century textbook, not from watching 'La Casa de Papel'.
From Spanish 'castellano' (Castilian).
Often capitalized. While it specifically means 'Castilian,' in the Philippines it's a common synonym for 'Spanish' in general.
