Greek	Romanization (Wiktionary)	Note
ισπανικά	ispaniká	neuter, plural
ισπανική γλώσσα	ispanikí glóssa

The term refers to the Romance language of Spain and the Americas.

Use ισπανικά to refer to the language itself, whereas Ισπανικός is used to describe a man or a masculine noun related to Spain.

In formal writing, when referring to the language as a noun, the first letter is capitalized as Ισπανικά. The word ισπανικά is a neuter plural noun.

ispaniká

Because ισπανικά is a neuter plural noun, it requires the plural article τα in sentences such as 'The Spanish is easy'.

The word γλῶσσα, found in ισπανική γλώσσα, shares a common ancestor with the English word 'glossary'.
When Greeks talk about 'the Spanish' as a group of people, they use a different word entirely, Ισπανοί, rather than the word for the language ισπανικά.
While ισπανικά is used for the language, the Greek word for the country of Spain is Ισπανία, which ends in a feminine suffix.
