Languages of Argentina

Hey kiddo! Let's talk about the different languages that are spoken in Argentina.

Firstly, the main language spoken in Argentina is Spanish. This is the language that most people use every day to communicate with each other. But did you know that there are also many other languages spoken in Argentina too?

One of these other languages is called Quechua. This is a language spoken by the indigenous people of the Andes mountains. They have their own culture and traditions and Quechua is an important part of that.

Another indigenous language spoken in Argentina is Mapudungun. This is spoken by the Mapuche people who live in the south of the country. Mapudungun is also an important part of their culture and heritage.

In addition to these, there are also other indigenous languages spoken throughout Argentina, such as Toba, Wichí, Ava Guarani, and others.

So, while Spanish is the most widely spoken language in Argentina, there are also many other languages that are an important part of the country's cultural and linguistic diversity.
