I'm not entirely clear how you would describe a verb that fulfils this function. I'm looking for a word equivalent to "gallicise", "americanise" or "hellenise", but for Spain equivalent. Is there such a word? What morpheme would you use for Spain?

  • The Spanish are looking to make Gibraltar Spanish. I don't think 'Hispanicise' works here. Dec 7, 2013 at 14:25
