Why do you say Spanish? Because they're the second fastest growing
segment of our world's population? It's been ages since I read

Not the world. The US. The Census department says that the Hispanic
population in this country will increase from 12.6% of the population in
2000 to 24.4% in 2050. Their numbers are projected to grow from 35.6 million
to 102.6 million, an increase of 188 percent.

That figure doesn't include the merger with the Chinese world which
surely would have happened before then, mi amigo.

Si, poquito, pero yo tome solo dos anos en la esquela.
It's Chinese that I'd learn if I were in school today.
