Anti-Spanish diatribe

(This was briefly shown in the article on the Catalan language in Wikipedia on 1 Dec 2020. I have no idea who wrote it, so cannot assess their motives.)

The Spanish language map is very wrong, and Hispanics have been trying to get away with this for a long time. They shade in a ridiculous amount of the United States as though it were an official Spanish speaking country when it is not! There are lots of Spanish speakers living in the states, but that is not the same thing as the language being officially spoken there. This is done intentionally to give the impression that Spanish more widely spoken officially than it really is. Furthermore, the Philippines has no business being shade in as Spanish speaking, as Spanish is a defunct language there. English and Tagalog are the official languages there, not Spanish. Spanish is a dead language there apart from a few thousand speakers who have learned it as a 3rd or 4th language in school. Morocco also has no business being shaded in as Spanish speaking either, as Spanish is not officially spoken there. There is a small, insignificant community of Spanish speakers there, that's all.

Spanish is not even a 'world language' in the true sense as English, French, and Portuguese are, as these three are spoken officially on at least 5 continents officially. Spanish is a 'regional' language is 97% limited to Central and South America spoken 'officially' - Spanish is not 'globalized' language they way English, Portuguese and French are. Spanish is very overrated and what that reflects is an 'inferiority complex'. Hispanics want the Spanish language to be more important than it is. In another generation Spanish will barely be spoken by the younger generation - this happened with German 100 years ago. Eventually the Spanish speakers will assimilate into the wider English speaking American society. Trump built a lot of border wall which has stopped 80% of illegal Mexicans from sneaking in. So, more hispanics are assimilating than those coming in, which puts Spanish on a serious decline.

Portuguese is the language to watch out for as it is spoken officially all over the world, and it has become an important language of commerce and economy. Brazil alone has the 6th strongest economy in the world. Angola and Mozambique in Africa are the Brazils of Africa. And guess what? The Chinese, Indians, Japanese, USA is doing a lot of trade with those Portuguese speaking countries.
