United States! The U.S. has 34 million Spanish speakers, and though English is the most spoken here, we have no official language. :) - Austin67427, May 5, 2010

Welcome to the forum carmichael you've come to the right place but you'll have to follow the series Culture in Pictures to get them all from me.

By the way, as this is a learning site, please remember to use proper capitalization in your posts. There are many here learning English and we don't want to confuse them with our different rules.

Answer 3

Should be a couple more as the RAE quotes, I think, 22 other Spanish language academies.

Oops - a quick look at the list gives a count of 22 but including the RAE (Spain) and also an "Academia Norteamericana...." so there should be one more.

This was not trivial as their list was in what looked like random order but you seem to have left out the Filipinas and Puerto Rico and where you got EquatorialGuinea from escapes me. However +2 and -1 balances.

Whether Puerto Rico is a country, a State, a Territory or just exactly what, it is even now a subject of heated debate. - Gekkosan, May 8, 2010

Hi, I wanted to add that although Brazil's official language is not Spanish, there are quite a few Spanish-speakers living there in some regions.

There's Welsh speakers in Argentina too - geofc, May 8, 2010
