The Chinese word 西班牙语 (xībānyáyǔ) for "Spanish language" is a compound of two characters: 西班牙 (xībānyá) and 语 (yǔ).The character 西班牙 (xībānyá) is a combination of two other characters: 西 (xī) and 班牙 (bānyá). The character 西 (xī) means "west", and the character 班牙 (bānyá) is a transliteration of the Spanish word "España". The character 牙 (yá) is used in Chinese to represent foreign words that end in "a".The character 语 (yǔ) means "language". It is used in Chinese to refer to both spoken and written languages.So, the Chinese word 西班牙语 (xībānyáyǔ) literally means "the language of Spain".
