It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Hispanicity. (Discuss)
Countries where Spanish has official status. Countries and regions where Spanish is spoken without official recognition, or where Spanish-based créole languages (e.g. Chavacano, Papiamento, Portuñol) are spoken with or without official recognition, and areas with a strong Hispanic influence.[1]
The term Hispanophone (or hispanophone; in Spanish, hispanohablante or hispanófono) denotes Spanish-speakers and relation to the Spanish-speaking world. The word originates with the Roman name of the Iberian Peninsula, Hispania, which comprised the territory of the modern states of Spain, Portugal, Andorra and the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar as well as a small southern part of France. In a cultural, rather than merely linguistic sense, the notion of "Hispanophone" goes further than the above definition. The term specifically refers to people whose cultural background is primarily associated with Spain, regardless of ethnic and geographical differences. The Hispanophone culture is the legacy of the Spanish colonial empire. There are an estimated 417 million Hispanophones globally, making Spanish one of the most widely spoken languages in the world today. Hispanophone areas include Spain (where the language originated) and Hispanic America. There is a sizable Hispanophone minority in the United States. In the 2000 census, it comprised 10.7% of the population over the age of five - over 28 million people.[2] There are also smaller Hispanophone groups in Canada, northern Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, the Philippines (the latter three being former colonies of Spain) and in many other places, particularly large cities.
