Is Spanish expanding?
Quechuas make good Hispanics like the Tartars who are now indistinguishable from pure Hispanics.
<< Quechuas make good Hispanics like the Tartars who are now indistinguishable from pure Hispanics. >>
Quechuas are not Hispanics, they have their own language and will be independent soon once Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador collapse. Then they will abandon Spanish and speak only Quechua. The same with Arawak,
Taino, Lucayan, Carib, Ciboney, Kuna and so on. They will be independent and will speak their native tongues. Hispanics will be assimilated seamlessly into their societies. Hispanics will cease to exist and will be replaced by:

Maybe if they are lucky they can still speak Spanish in some neighbourhoods in Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, etc., but it will risk being encroached on by Haitian or Sranan Tongos. If these peoples need to communicate between ethnic groups they will do it in English and Spanish will become nothing but a bad memory.

<<French is spoken in 5 continents while Spanish in 4 not just 3 as what you said.>>
Chinese is also spoken in 5 continents, because there are Chinese communities everywhere, but it's only important in Asia. French is only important in Africa.

Spanish may be widespread in Hispanic America, but it is falling dramatically in Europe, where it is being supplanted by Hindi in its very own country of origin. ॐ सह नाववतु | सह नौ भुनक्तु | सह वीर्यं करवावहै |तेजस्विनावधीतमस्तु | मा विद्विषावहै ||
Statistics say that Spanish is in decline as a mother tongue in Hispanic America because of the rise of Guarani, Quechua, Aymara, Quiche, and Nahuatl.
Native American languages are widely spoken in Peru, Guatemala, Bolivia, Paraguay, and to a lesser degree, in Mexico, Ecuador, and Chile. In absolute numbers, Mexico contains the largest population of indigenous-language speakers of any country in the Americas, surpassing those of the Amerindian-majority countries of Guatemala, Bolivia and the Amerindian-plurality country of Peru. In Latin American countries not named above, the population of speakers of indigenous languages is small or non-existent.
In Peru, Quechua is an official language, alongside Spanish and any other indigenous language in the areas where they predominate. In Ecuador, while holding no official status, the closely related Quichua is a recognized language of the indigenous people under the country's constitution; however, it is only spoken by a few groups in the country's highlands. In Bolivia, Aymara, Quechua and Guaraní hold official status alongside Spanish. Guarani is, along with Spanish, an official language of Paraguay, and is spoken by a majority of the population (who are, for the most part, bilingual), and it is co-official with Spanish in the Argentine province of Corrientes. In Nicaragua, Spanish is the official language, but on the country's Caribbean coast English and indigenous languages such as Miskito, Sumo, and Rama also hold official status. Colombia recognizes all indigenous languages spoken within its territory as official, though fewer than 1% of its population are native speakers of these. Nahuatl is one of the 62 native languages spoken by indigenous people in Mexico, which are officially recognized by the government as "national languages" along with Spanish.

Well done, that just proved how insignificant Spanish is. Only Colombia, Cuba, and Puerto Rico has insignificant Amerindian language speakers that only a few years ago were in Peru, Bolivia, and Guatemala consider Spanish important.
In other countries the situation is even worse for Spanish. In the Philippines more and more ethnic Spanish descents are switching to Chinese as their secondary language(English and Tagalog are the first languages), especially with increasing stigmatisation of Spanish, with Spanish language TV stations are non-existant. In the Marianas and Guam the Spanish speakers are either Chamorro speakers or learning the English languages to to ascend the social ladder. In Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara Spanish is insignificant. In Paraguay surge of Guarani nationalism is ousting Spanish.

Why I had no idea that Guarani is official in Corrientes, Argentina; English, Miskito, Sumo, and Rama in Nicaragua; All of the Amerindian languages in Colombia; And Nahuatl is now recognized as a National Language by the Mexican government.

zzzZZZ, que flojera, estos fran-driles no aprenden... realmente no importa lo que se diga en este foro, todos sabemos que el Español es el segundo idioma despues del Ingles, y que el Frances cada vez desaparece mas.
What stupid guys! Shame on you! Why don't you read some more books in French or Spanish, it doesn't matter, instead of wasting time here??
