===Definitions in ancient Rome===<!--NEEDS WORK--> The Latin gentile adjectives that belong to Hispania are ''Hispanus, Hispanicus,'' and ''Hispaniensis.'' A Hispanus is someone who is a native of Hispania with no foreign parents, while children born in Hispania of Roman parents were ''Hispanienses''. ''Hispaniensis'' means 'connected in some way to Hispania', as in "Exercitus Hispaniensis" ('the Spanish army') or "mercatores Hispanienses" ('Spanish merchants'). ''Hispanicus'' implies 'of' or 'belonging to' Hispania or the Hispanus or of their fashion as in "gladius Hispanicus".<ref>{{cite book|title=The Gentleman's Magazine, and Historical Chronicle |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XaFJAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA326 |access-date=19 January 2016 |date=1820 |publisher=E. Cave |page=326}}</ref> The gentile adjectives were not ethnolinguistic but derived primarily on a geographic basis, from the toponym Hispania as the people of Hispania spoke different languages, although Titus Livius ([[Livy]]) said they could all understand each other, not making clear if they spoke dialects of the same language or were polyglots.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://xtf.lib.virginia.edu/xtf/view?docId=legacy/uvaBook/tei/Liv3His.xml;chunk.id=d264;toc.depth=1;toc.id=d231;brand=default |author=Titus Livius |title=The History of Rome, Vol. III 25.33 |work=University of Virginia Library |access-date=19 January 2016|author-link=Livy }}</ref> The first recorded use of an [[anthroponym]] derived from the toponym Hispania is attested in one of the five fragments, of [[Ennius]] in 236 BC who wrote "Hispane, non Romane memoretis loqui me" ("Remember that I speak like a Hispanic not a Roman") as having been said by a native of Hispania.<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://uib-es.academia.edu/EnriqueGarc%C3%ADaRiaza/Papers/1229269/GARCIA_RIAZA_E._Lengua_y_poder._Notas_sobre_los_origenes_de_la_latinizacion_de_las_elites_celtibericas_182-133_aC_Palaeohispanica_5-2005_637-655 |title=Lengua y poder.
