Language

Spanish is the de facto national language of Mexico, which is the world's largest Spanish-speaking country. Although there are 68 recognized national languages, Spanish is by far the most common. It is characterized by its use of the tilde on top of an N, and the use of inverted punctuation at the beginning of phrases.

Script

Spanish uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet, plus one extra character (Ññ):

Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii
Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Ññ Oo Pp Qq
Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz

In addition, Spanish employs the acute accent over vowels:

Áá Éé Íí Óó Úú

Spanish is also notable for using inverted exclamation and question marks at the beginning of their respective phrases:

¡...!
¿...?

Sample

Todos los seres humanos nacen libres e iguales en dignidad y derechos y, dotados como están de razón y conciencia, deben comportarse fraternalmente los unos con los otros.
