COUNTRIES THAT SPEAK SPANISH

COUNTRIES THAT SPEAK SPANISH

Today I am here to talk about the number of countries that speak Spanish in the world.

As you can see on the map, there are 21 countries with Spanish as their official language , among them we find countries in South America, Central America, Europe and Africa , being Mexico is the country with the largest Spanish-speaking population (more than 120 million people ). The funny thing is that, without being the official language, United States is the 2nd country with the most Spanish speakers in the world (more than 55 million people ). And the thing is that Spanish is spoken by… more than 500 million people!

And you will ask yourself, where can I travel speaking Spanish?

Mexico, Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, Ecuador, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama , Uruguay, Puerto Rico and Equatorial Guinea.

The countries within America that speak Spanish are divided between Central America and South America, these are:

  • Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

In Africa we find only Equatorial Guinea, in which Spanish is taught in schools. If you want to know more about its history, I recommend you take a look at this article.

Thus, in Europe there is only Spain as a Spanish-speaking country, although as you will see below, there are more countries with several Spanish-speakers among their population.

Apart from the countries marked in blue on the map, the countries that have 10% or more Spanish speakers are:

  • If we want to move around Europe, Africa and Asia , we have the following countries in which Spanish is studied as a foreign language, with more than 1 million people from Spanish-speaking: France, Brazil, Italy, United Kingdom, Philippines, Germany and Morocco.

  1. Mexico esta considerado Norteamerica. Porque más de la mitad del país esta en Norteamérica. Tanto EEUU como Canadá también lo reconocen así, por eso el tratado de libre comercio se llamaba NAFTA. North America Frade Trade Agrement.

    • Buenos días Jose Antonio,

      Muchas gracias por la observación sobre México siendo considerado parte de Norteamérica, como bien dices, México es parte de Norteamérica, y tanto Estados Unidos como Canadá lo reconocen de esta manera. Disculpa por el desliz, ahora mismo lo arreglo.

      ¡Gracias de nuevo y un saludo!
