Question

Which is true of the language use in Middle American countries?

A.) Each country has an official language, but other languages are also common.
B.) Each country has multiple official languages.
C.) Everyone in a country knows how to speak the official language.
D.) Indigenous people are required to speak their country's official language.

Answer 1

The answer is A.) Each country has an official language, but other languages are also common.

Spanish is the official language of most Middle American countries, but other languages are also common. For example, in Guatemala, the official language is Spanish, but Mayan languages are also spoken by many people. In Belize, the official languages are English and Spanish.

It is important to note that not everyone in a country knows how to speak the official language. This is especially true for indigenous people, who may speak their own language in addition to the official language.
