South America as a whole does not have an official language; South America is a continent and not a country. Spanish and Portuguese are the most widely spoken languages in South America, but there are hundreds if not thousands of various native and Spanish/Portuguese dialects.

∙ 6y agoPortuguese and Spanish are almost exactly equal, so it's hard to say which one is spoken more. But because Portuguese is the primary language of only one country (Brazil), I'd say Spanish. Other languages spoken are Quechua (native in Peru), English (Guyana), Dutch (Suriname), and French (French Guiana).
