Portuguese[edit]

I am concerned with the sentence....."Portuguese is the most widely spoken language in South America£.....it is misleading as Portuguese is the official language of Brasil and the majority of South Americans speak Spanish. Perhaps your sentence relates to the large popultaion in Brasil , if so, it should be stated clearly so as to clarify the extent that spoken Portuguese is used in South America.

It is clearly that portuguese is most widely spoken language in south america , The majority of south american dont speek spanish , they speek portuguese , if most of countries speek spanish there is no difference —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luis.grande (talk • contribs) 05:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of South America[edit]

I think it's funny that the majority of South America is Spanish and Portuguese. A small portion of South America is English. --GermanyWorldWar2 (talk) 21:05, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Main languages map[edit]

"Nederlands" is not a language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.255.236.2 (talk) 16:28, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. It is the name the Dutch have for their own language (did you not notice that the map lists each language using each language's name for itself?).Goodsdrew (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
