Answer:

colonial languages

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that Spanish is the official language of some twenty countries in the Americas is a direct result of colonization. Like the Portuguese spoken in Brazil or the French and English spoken in Canada, Spanish was brought to the New World by European colonists and did not originate in the Americas.

The case of Senegal is more complex since Wolof is also widely spoken in the country, but the status of French as the administrative and official language is a result of the French colonization of the Senegal and many other West African nations.
