Answer:

Over 330 million people in the world speak Spanish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spanish is a romance language that comes from spoken Latin. It belongs to the Iberian group and is originally from Castilla, the medieval kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula.

It is the second language in the world for the number of people who speak it as their mother tongue after Mandarin Chinese with approximately 442 million native speakers, and for the number who speak it as a first and second native language with 480 million native speakers, reaching 577 million people if we consider also speakers with limited competence, so that it can be considered the third language in the world by the total number of speakers after Mandarin and English, and the third in international communication after English and French.
