  • I do not know of any languages that do not have compound words. Compounding seems to be a basic form of derivation that all languages utilize. Some languages may lack certain types of compounds (i.e. some may abound in noun-verb compounds but have few or no noun-noun compounds), but you'd be hard-pressed to find a language that does not contain some form of compounding.

    I'm not sure if you're saying that the Spanish language does or does not have compound words.  (It does, by the way.)
