All Spanish speakers are from Mexico.

All Spanish speakers are from Mexico.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Depends on region

Answer: (B)

Spanish originated in the Iberian Peninsula and spread to many countries through exploration and colonization, so it is spoken far beyond Mexico. Today it is an official or widely used language in Spain and most of Latin America, plus large Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and even in other continents. Because of this global distribution, the idea that all Spanish speakers are from Mexico is incorrect. The statement is false for that reason.
