| Spanish is spoken officially in 21 different nations on three major continents of Earth. The language uses a 30 letter alphabet, largely shared by the 'Romance Languages' French and Italian, and other Latin-based collections. CH, LL and RR represent single-sounds and are treated as one letter (they are never divided). |
