Three Linguistic Spaces

The Three Linguistic Spaces is a structure for cooperation between the Francophone, or French-speaking world, the Hispanophone or Spanish-speaking world, and the Lusophone, or Portuguese-speaking world. It is led by the Organization of Ibero-American States, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries and the International Organisation of La Francophonie. The Francophone space is the most populous space with a population of 450 million people and also the largest space at over. The Hispanophone space is the richest space by GDP nominal at nearly $5 trillion, slightly ahead of the Francophone space.
