The Spanish language is official in Argentina

See: Reference (N°. 1) of the article Argentina from the Spanish Wikipedia (Argentine government website (gob.ar)) The Spanish language is official in Argentina, it is not "de facto". 152.169.210.93 (talk) 16:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you misunderstand what de facto means: that source changes nothing. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 22:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For a language to be official there has to be a regulation saying so (a law, an article of the constitution, something like that), just a webpage is not enough. Cambalachero (talk) 02:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
