Most Spanish speaking people are Mexican.

We're all on the internet. Why make things up when people (including yourself) can fact check?

Spanish Speakers: Native: 500 million - Total: 600 million

México - population of almost 130 million

Sure I worded this weirdly. As far as nationalities go, there is no other country in the world with more Spanish speaking people, by far. There. But that wasn't even the point. The point was that >100 million Spanish speaking people would ask for "café negro".

EDIT: Merriam Webster accepts "most" as a synonym for "greatest in quantity, extent or degree", which is not necessarily at least half plus one. Then again, I'm not a native English speaker. I edited the original comment to be clear.
