COMMENTARY     

Daniel Yepez
2nd 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!
Eduardo Soria
29th December 2005 		Absolutely everyone in Spain speaks Spanish. The population of the country is 42m+, therefore the figure for Spanish speakers in Spain is quite wrong.
Please correct it. Thanks! Regards!

31st March 2005 		Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese and English. Globally there are with between 322,200,000 to 358,000,000 speakers of Spanish as their first language and 417,000,000 speakers including second and subsequent language users.

Originally the language of Spain, after the arrival in the Americas of Christopher Columbus in 1492, the Spanish Colonial empire spread bringing the Spanish language with it. Areas in the Americas under Spanish control included most of South and Central America, Mexico, parts of the Caribbean and much of the United States. Most of the spanish speakers in the world today live in these formerly colonised regions.
