Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Survival map for spanish language.
 
Countries in red are the primary nations for the language, with Spanish as official, co-official, or effectively official. Hispano speakings can travel freely through most of these countries without issue.
 
Countries in green have a large percentage of speakers of the language, as either a mother tongue or second language. Hispanohablantes can travel through most of the nation with ease, but there are substantial areas which present real difficulty.
 
Countries in yellow have a significant total number of mother tongue speakers or second language speakers. Hispanohablantes can travel through select parts of the nation with little difficulty, but everywhere else Spanish is basically considered a foreign language.
  1. Belize: (high/low) One third of the population of Belize speaks Spanish as a primary language. However, it is not an official language and in some regions it is seldom used.
  2. US Virgin Islands: (med/high) has English as a co-official language, but only between 15-20% of the population speak Spanish, which is only a slightly greater density than the United States proper; however, the US Virgin islands are too small to have marginalization issues effectively making any widespread sceondary language functional.
  3. Brasil: (med/med) has very few native speakers, probably because immigrants easily naturalize (on the order of 4 million Brazilians speak Spanish to the exclusion of Portuguese). But in terms of intelligable communication, roughly 100 million Brazilians effectively use Spanish, putting it on par with the USA.
  4. United States: (med/med) Use of Spanish is relatively widespread, but in pockets or certain communities and neighborhoods, especially in the southern states the share a border with Mexico. Depending on the context, Spanish use is not encouraged or even disliked by some in the United States. Still, there are a few diverse and "plentiful" areas where Spanish is a lingua franca.
  5. Andorra: (med/low) Most people here speak some Spanish, but Catalàn is the official language.
  6. Aruba, Trinidad, Tobago, Barbados, and Nederland Antilles: (low/high) all teach Spanish in their schools and are in the process of elevating Spanish to a co-official language, or else converting wholesale to Spanish.
  7. Philippines: (low/high) also has virtually no native Spanish language users, but it is traditionally a popular second language due to cultural contexts that find use in daily life, as well as its slight similarities to Tagalog (Spanish in the Philippines is arguably more useful and relevant than it is in the united states today, even though they have a far smaller speaker base). There is a cultural context that makes communicating in spanish much easier than it otherwise would be: and 5-10% of the population speaks a spanish creole as their mother tongue. Additionally, the Philippines were set to reinstate spanish as an official language in January, 2008 and return it as a compulsory language in public schools.
  8. Equatorial Guinea: (low/high) only 5-10% of the population speaks Spanish, but it is the official and de facto language.
