Belén Marín 24th November 2012	Your figures about the speakers of Spanish in Spain is wrong, you must check the figures in the last report of the Instituto Cervantes.
Pablo (Spain) 5th January 2008	As Eduardo said, absolutely everyone in Spain speaks spanish, maybe half million inmigrants don`t. And really in Spain speaks english less than 10million as you says And our leader ... speaks, english, french, italian ... Where did you get that information ...
Daniel Jaimen Navarrete (USA) 29th November 2007	Close to everybody speaks Spanish in Spain today. The only exceptions are some immigrants and some tiny negligible rural enclaves. You also have to update your population figures for Spanish speaking countries.
Jerald (Nueva Ecija) 21st June 2006	Philippines could have been 2nd, Our population is 70 million. If not for the Americans. Oh well, 3rd largest in English speakers is okay, but I'd like it if we spoke Spanish too.
Peiote Malote (Poland) 22nd May 2006	No, no, both are correct, that people speaks Catlan (as i do), not means that don't speak Spanish, we.. perfectly know both lenguages, and Catalan is not only spoked in Catalonia, also in Pais Valencia (where i'm from), Balearian Islands, South East of France, And the Italian city of Alghero (Sardignia). But Also oficially, in their respective territories, Basc and Galician are Oficials.... And other minorities as Aranés, Bable..... Thanks!, correct it!
Daniel Yepez 1st February 2006	You're wrong with the Spanish speakers in Spain. In my country everybody speak this language. It's official all over the country. But in some parts like Catalonia another language has official status. In this case, the Catalan. Please change this! Thanks!
espaneo 2nd December 2004	spanish is a wonderful language.
