Spanish is the primary, official, or co-official language in 21 countries*, but many more have majority or substantial Spanish speaking populations. Most of these were at one time Spanish colonies in the Americas.

Spanish is an official language in 14 countries:

Bolivia
Colombia
Costa Rica
Cuba
Ecuador
El Salvador
Equatorial Guinea
Guatemala
Honduras
Panamá
Paraguay
Perú
SpainMexico (Spanish or Castilian is the everyday language)
Venezuela

It is the de facto national language in 6 more, and a US territory:
Argentina
Chile
Dominican Republic
Nicaragua
Uruguay
Puerto Rico*

In Belize (formerly British Honduras), Spanish is spoken by about 50% of the population, but English is the only official language.

*Puerto Rico is a territory of the US, and they speak Spanish there although English is co-official. Spanish is also the second most spoken language in the US with about 35 million speakers.

Adjacent to Spain, in Andorra, Spanish is the first language of about 25% of the population. In the British possession of Gibraltar, the population is mostly bilingual in Spanish and English.


There are actually 20 countries that really have Spanish as their national language.

ho Sometimes, however, there are others which are listed as speaking Spanish; like Equatorial

Guinea, Andorra,

There a or even the United States, etc. As far as I am concerned, these other inclusions are inaccurate

because other languages are spoken there also, not simply Spanish; in the case of Equatorial

Africa there are three national languages as their official languages: Spanish, French, and

Portuguese. So, that's why I give the list reference below.
