The overwhelmingly predominant language of the nations of South America, with the exception of Brazil, is Spanish.

In South America, the majority of countries (such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela) use Spanish as their official language. Spanish colonization led to its establishment as the primary mode of communication in these territories. Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, which is the largest country in South America, and this is why it stands out in the region. Other languages such as English and French are spoken in smaller territories or specific regions within countries, but they do not serve as predominant languages across the continent. Consequently, when considering South America as a whole, excluding Brazil, Spanish clearly emerges as the dominant language.
