"Spanish-speaking" as an adjective

Question

The French have a word, "francophone" which means French-speaking, as in "the French-speaking world." Is there a comparable adjective in Spanish? Thanks, anybody.

Answer 1

HI nim, welcome to the forum

Spanish speaking: hispanoparlante, hispanohablante

thanks, Heidita. One of the things I really like about this forum is that you sure don't have to wait very long to get a question answered! - nimrod, Jul 29, 2010

Answer 2

Heidita is right, of course.

I use "hispanohablante."

Yes, I like "hispanohablante" better, too. Thanks so much. - nimrod, Jul 29, 2010
