Languages of Latin America

There is a wide range of indigenous languages spoken within Latin America. While the majority of people today speak Spanish, as well as languages such as Portuguese, Dutch, French and English, this was not always so.

  1. I think you should change the map because It is not easy to find the languages you listed on the side. Please create a map where we can visualize your list! Thanks :)

  2. I mean you should map indigenous languages that are spoken these days, not colonial languages....
