You will find countries whose national languages include French, Spanish, and Portuguese in West Africa.
To find the answer to this question, you can start by identifying which regions of Africa include countries that have French, Spanish, and Portuguese as national languages.
- South Africa is not likely the correct answer because its national language is primarily English and Afrikaans.
- North Africa is also not likely the correct answer because the majority of countries in this region have Arabic as their national language.
This leaves us with two options: West Africa and East Africa.
To determine the correct region, we need to look at the countries in each region. In West Africa, countries such as Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Ivory Coast have French as a national language. However, Spanish and Portuguese are not typically spoken in this region.
In East Africa, countries such as Mozambique and Angola have Portuguese as a national language. Although Spanish is not commonly spoken in this region, it should be noted that Equatorial Guinea, located in Central Africa but considered a member of the East African Community, also has Spanish as an official language.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is West Africa.
