The Americas
The Americas, spanning North, Central, and South America along with the Caribbean, are a region of immense cultural, linguistic, and ecological variety. With over a billion people, the region reflects the legacies of Indigenous civilizations, European colonization, African influences, and waves of immigration from around the globe.
Languages in the Americas are as diverse as its people. While Spanish, English, and Portuguese are most commonly spoken, the region is also home to many Indigenous languages like Quechua, Guarani, and Nahuatl, as well as Creole languages and immigrant languages such as French, Dutch, Chinese, and Arabic. The Americas are a vibrant mosaic of traditions, from the art and spirituality of Indigenous peoples to the music and cuisine shaped by African and European heritages.
