Do you mean:

The Spanish are nice people (plural noun)
Spanish is an interesting language (sg.) :thinking:

the old, the poor, the blind etc....
Can I say ONe spanish, 2 spanish?

[poli]

No,
You would use: one Spaniard/two Spaniards
or one Spanish person/ two Spanish people

[Tarential]

You can use "fish" that way, however. One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.
