i... am sadly part of that 2%. *pause* and my mother was born in madrid. it's a phenomenon i call 'sporclevision.' it's particularly prominent in the georgraphy category. it's the phenomenon whereby a person looking for five-letter countries will get nauru and palau but miss china, india and japan.

@Tats SO TRUE...I mean, I did get spain, but "Sporclevision" has happened to me SO many times - for example, when in the one-syllable countries category when I got Laos, but neither France nor Spain.

Belize was a British colony, how it was the only one in that region I'm not sure why. Did anyone miss Spain?

Sporclevision also causes many many people (nearly including myself) to forget Russia when naming countries of the former USSR.

Sporclevision happens with English-speaking countries, too, where people forget about the USA, UK or Ireland, as they're wondering if India, Somalia or the Maldives qualify.

Hi People, just a quick update: I've changed the population column to population of spanish-speakers, to make it a little more accurate. All figures came from ethnologue. And Belize is now a bonus, because according to ethnologue and wiki Spanish is the most common first language, although English is official. For Andorra, a more people speak Catalan, so its not a bonus.

How come USA was not included? Millions of people in the USA speak Spanish. For many it is their first or second language.

@DonnaBee The US only counts English as an official language, I think, though I vaguely remember learning once that we don't have an "official" language as recognized by the government or something. I don't know if that's true...but I do know Spanish isn't official here.

@HER. Yes, its true. The US dosen't have an official language. Its one of three such countries, alongside the UK and Australia. Although there is a campaign going on in the USA to make English the official, so it may have one soon.

How about Puerto Rico as a bonus? Not a country, but Spanish is the official language.

catalan is spoken in andorra--like barcelona. which is why they both have no wanting to be spanish.

@HER, the federal government has no official language, but many states do. California's OL is English, Texas doesn't have one, and Hawaii has two: English and Hawaiian. Also, I second adding Puerto Rico as a bonus.

Belize was not the only British colony in Central America - the British took over the Caribbean coasts of Honduras and Nicaragua as well, but not the more populous and important western regions.

Hence the English creole spoken by the Miskito Indians of Nicaragua. The British were only interested in the coastal forests (wood for shipbuilding), so made no effort to push inland.

187,000 for the Spanish speaking population of Paraguay looks off by more than an order of magnitude. Population of 6.5 million, 75% of which speak Spanish - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraguay#Demographics

@jimmy: The ethnologue figures list the number of first language speakers. 75% of Paraguay can speak Spanish, but only 187,000 speak it as their first language

In Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, and Uruguay, Spanish is a national/majority language, but not an official language.

I love how there's a MASSIVE drop in % guessed right from Dominican Republic to Equatorial Guinea. It's like a 51% difference (granted, not many people know EG speaks Spanish)...but I've never seen that before.

Re the USA--the Articles of Confederation did establish English as the official language. They were later superseded by the Constitution, which made no mention of an official language, but it's not completely unreasonable to suppose that the intention to keep English as the official language remained. There certainly is no evidence to suggest otherwise.
