What languages are spoken in Argentina?
No. The main, and official, language of Argentina is Spanish. But, like Uruguay, the Portuguese language is a required subject for schoolchildren. For there's heavy traffic back and forth over both countries' borders with Brazil.
Additionally, many of the immigrants, from Spain to Argentina, come from the northwestern province of Galicia. Indeed, Galicia is the place of origin of the Portuguese language within the Iberian Peninsula. And so immigrants to Argentina tend to know, speak and understand Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish.
In fact, Portuguese continues to be spoken in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. For the city still is the destination of Galician immigrants to Argentina. Also, the city still is the host to the continued popularity of tango dancing, music playing, and singing. And the lyrics to tango songs sometimes are in Lunfardo, which is a slangy mix of Brazilian Portuguese; dialects from Africa, the Caribbean, and Italy; and English.
