12 Countries where Spanish is an OFFICIAL language but NOT the only one:

Important Note:

* "Spanish influence" in the above countries can be very different. It could be a significant portion of the population speaking Spanish, or it could be mainly historical or cultural influences on the language and culture.

* This list doesn't include all countries where people speak Spanish as a second language. There are many other countries with large Spanish-speaking communities.

It's more accurate to say there are 20 countries where Spanish is the sole official language and many more where it is *a* significant language, though not necessarily the dominant one.
