Is the reason most south and central Americans speak espanol due to unrestricted immigration in those places?

Question

Seems an inordinate amount of espanol' is being used compared to other languages.

so spanish developed all by itself on the south and central americas,and just happened to be the same spanish those spaniards were jabbering -very intereasting Iesobravo.

Answer 1

Or maybe because the Spanish went to their country and enslaved them??!

Answer 2

Immigration from where?? People in those countries speak Spanish because in the 1500s Spain sent explorers and settlers to those places, killed or enslaved the people living there, and made Spanish colonies out of large areas. So the "immigration" that made them speak Spanish happened 500 years ago! Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese, so people there speak Portuguese. North America was largely settled by people from France and England, so those "immigrants" brought English (and French) to North America.

Answer 3

Check the south of our border immigration laws. The south American countries are so much harder on illegals than the U.S. is
Could it be that the Spanish conquered the South Americans and that why they speak some sort of Spanish.
Sorry your try to make America out as racist didn't work.
Racism in he south is much more out in the open and tolerated in the south

Answer 4

The reason they speak Spanish is because it is their native language; no politics involved. They were born into it like you to English.
