We have petty fights re. official languages about whether traffic signs should read “A coruña” or “La coruña”; or whether the national news anchor should say “Gerona” or “Girona” when speaking in spanish. We have regional governments that push spanish out of their regions. We as a nation obsess over english; we dream of speaking it better, we make it sound cool in the ads. We mock our leaders for not speaking it properly.&lt;p&gt;No one seriously pushes in a coordinated manner for spanish being used in the EU as seriously as the french or german do. At most, we aspire to be the proxy for latin america relationships.&lt;p&gt;As soon as anyone proposes to use english, we will see it as the opportunity to not have half of europe speak in french.</text><parent_chain><item><author>tluyben2</author><text>Spain will fight tooth and nail as well.

Sure, they do have the issue with Gibraltar and British &amp;quot;tourists&amp;quot; perenially, but is there any effect for the language itself?&lt;p&gt;At least Spanish is spoken by an order of magnitude more people than German, though (Latin America, and nowadays a third of USA as well)</text><parent_chain><item><author>tluyben2</author><text>Spain will fight tooth and nail as well.
