I thought occured to me when I was looking over the super shiny paper model of Serenity made by some talent in Spain, and it was this:

Spanish speakers take 3rd place in the "language spoken by the most people on Earth" list. Once Earth became Eath That Was, where did they all go? I hear English, I hear Madarin, I hear Cantonese, I don't hear Spanish.

Could it be that Spanish speakers are a opressed minority in this future society (not unlike right now). Perhaps there are planets where many Spanish speakers settled and Spanish became more common, like how Badger's home planet was settled by the British so everyone has a cockney accent. Or maybe Spanish was repressed under the Alliance, like the USA with the Navajo?

Or did it just not occur to the writters to put Sapnish in the 'verse? They had the cast learning Chinese every day, they didn't need to complicate things with Spanish too?

Your thoughts please. I would enjoy them.
