As official or de facto language, most North American countries with the exception of the United States, Belize, Jamaica, Aruba and Canada speak Spanish:

Mexico: 106 million

Guatemala: 12 million

Dominican Republic: 10 million

Honduras : 7 million

El Salvador: 7 million

Nicaragua: 5.5 million

Costa Rica: 4 million

Puerto Rico: 4 million

Panama: 3 million

However, Spanish-speaking people in the US or Canada account for more than most countries. Case in hand, the United States is the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world behind Mexico, with almost 50 million people who are fluent in Spanish.
