How is Spanish Spoken Differently in Different Countries?
Spanish is spoken by about 400 million people around the world, which makes it the third most popular language in the world, right after English and Mandarin Chinese. While English has more speakers than any other language, most of these speakers are not native and have a different mother tongue. If that is taken into consideration, Spanish becomes the second language in the world. Besides being the official language in 21 countries, Spanish is also widely spoken in small colonies around the world.
