Mike T, it's nowhere near "more than twice as many speakers of Spanish in South America". The figures are about 215 million Spanish and 210 million Portuguese.

Spanish and Portuguese are not the only languages of South America. At least 20 million people speak Quechua, Guaraní, Aymara, or another indigenous language. More than 6 million speak English (e.g., in Guyana).

De, sorry but that's not quite true. The current population of South America is 440,550,995 as of Friday, October 6, 2023, based on the latest United Nations estimates, of which Brazil has just UNDER half at 216,422,446.
