Right? People are forgetting that we've got essentially three languages in the entire hemisphere.

You speak three languages in Europe? Congrats you speak 12% of the commonly spoken / national languages.

Speak one language in the Americas? Congrats, you speak 1/3 of them!

    I'm assuming the third language is French? And I mean really how gives a fuck about Quebec. They just push the language to be assholes.

    So really there are two...

    Portuguese, there's a few hundred million speakers of Portuguese in South America.

    I suppose I should have included French and made it four ... there's Quebec, but also Martinique, French Guiana, and so on. Maybe 10-15 million all in all?

    Vs. ~450m for Spanish, ~400m for English and ~300m for Portuguese.
