In Africa, Spanish is an official language only in Equatorial Guinea. This central African country has a unique linguistic profile, with Spanish being one of its official languages due to its history as a Spanish colony. Other languages spoken in Equatorial Guinea include French and Portuguese, reflecting its diverse cultural heritage.
