Demographics of Argentina


Why include the Demographics of Argentina on an Argentina Spanish website? When learning a new language one of the first items people research are the demographics for a country or countries where the language is spoken. This may be to help decide where the person will first go to practice their new language or, to learn more about the cultures that speak their target language or even just to dream of exotic travels. How many people live there? How big is the country economically? What are the main cities? How old is the population? These statistics give information to begin to compare what we already know with a new place we have yet to understand.
