French vs. Spanish

Me and this boy i sit next to in Math had an argument. I'm in french, and he's in spanish, and- since we're obviously both so immature- we had a large argument ovr which language was more widely spoken. It went a bit like this.

Him: "Mexico!"
Me: "Canada!"
Him: "Most of the U.S.!"
Me: "Madagascar!"
Him: "Peru!"
Me: "Africa!"
Him: "Spain!"
Me: "Well, duh!"
Him: "Spain counts too!"
Me: "I know, fine, FRANCE!"

...
this went on for a while.
...
and...he won the argument.

Apparently, more ppl speak spanish then french. I guess i should hav forseen that, but still.
