Answer 2

In addition to Brasil, there are three countries in South America that do not speak Spanish: Surinam (Dutch), Guyana (English) and French Guiana (French).

Although Dutch is the official language in Surinam, Creole words and words of Spanish origin have been adopted. So the Dutch don't necessarily understand the Surinam though the Surinam understand the Dutch perfectly well! - chicasabrosa, Mar 2, 2010

A lot of Filipino words has Spanish origin,example: Arms: Fil=Braso, Sp=Braso; All: Fil=Todo, Sp=Todo; But: Fil=Pero, Sp=Pero: Book: Fil=Libro/Aklat, Sp=Libro; Chair: Fil=Silya, Sp=Silla; Dirt: Fil=Mantsa, Sp=Mancha; Doubt: Fil=Duda, Sp=Duda; Dresser: Fil=Aparador, Sp=Aparador; Woman's Dress: Fil=Bestida, Sp=Vestida; Go Back/Retreat: Fil=Atras, Sp=Atras; Hat: Fil=Sombrero, Sp=Sombrero; Garbage: Fil=Basura, Sp=Basura; Forward: Fil=Abante, Sp=Abante; Pail: Fil=Balde, Sp=Balde; Pharmacy: Fil=Botika, Sp=Botica; Place: Fil=Lugar, Sp=Lugar, etc. etc.etc. I can safely say that more than 50% of Filipino words are of Spanish origin.
