What languages are spoken in Latin America?

Answer 1

The most widely spoken language of Latin America is Spanish. It is official in 18 Latin American countries, and the majority of people speak it as their first language. Portuguese is spoken in Brazil, which while is only one country has by far the region's largest population with nearly 200 million people.

There are several countries in the geographical region where French, English, Dutch, and creole languages based on these languages are spoken, but these areas are not always considered part of Latin America.

There are also a large number of indigenous languages spoken alongside the official languages of Spanish and Portuguese, including Quechua, Guarani, and Aymara.

The other 'major' language spoken in South America is ENGLISH. This is still widely spoken in Guyana. French and Dutch are not considered 'major languages" although they are spoken in French Guiana and Suriname respectively.

Those would be:

• Spanish (375 million) - Mexico, Central America excluding Belize; most of the bigger islands in the Caribbean (i.e. Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico), most of South America exc. Brazil and the three Guyanas.
• Portuguese (203 million) - Brazil
