What languages are spoken in the Canary Islands?

The official language of the Canary Islands is Spanish, which is spoken by almost everyone.

However, there are also some indigenous languages spoken on the islands, although they are not as widespread as Spanish:

* Guanche: This language, spoken by the original inhabitants of the islands, is now extinct. However, some words and place names derived from Guanche are still used today.

* Berber languages: These languages, related to Guanche, are spoken by some immigrants from North Africa.

Additionally, due to tourism and immigration, you might encounter other languages like English, German, French, and Italian spoken in the Canary Islands, particularly in tourist areas.
