Bolivia used to be a Spanish colony in the same way that the United States (or at least the relevant parts) used to be an English colony. As a result, Bolivia's landed elite spoke Spanish and built a country that caters to that interest. However, as many Bolivians are natives (indígenas), the native tongues of Quechua and Aymara hold sway in rural Bolivia.

The country of Spain colonized Venezuela, and for many years it was part of the vast Spanish Empire in the New World. Since Spanish was spoken by the colonists and their descendants, it became the official language of Venezuela.

Cuba was settled/colonized by the Spanish in the early 1500's soon after Columbus found the island Hispaniola. Up to that time the early inhabitants of Cuba were Native peoples living there.

What languages are spoken in Havana Cuba?

The official language spoken in Cuba is Spanish and it is the first language of about 90 percent of the entire population. Other languages spoken in the country include Haitian Creole, Lucimi, Galician, and Corsican. Spanish is Cuba's official language, but the present administration has not put in place a one language rule.Like in other spanish speaking countries Cubans have their own twist to words. For example a razor used to shave in Spain is known as la navaja but my family (that are Cuban's) say Gillette. In Cuba the razor used to shave was a gillette and since they did not know what to call it they just said gillette. To the point, Cubans speak spanish.Most Cubans speak Spanish as their first language although they have their own local accent that is recognizable to other Spanish speakers as a "Cuban" accent and have incorporated their own local idioms that may not be familiar to other Spanish speakers. Considering that Cuba was a Spanish colony until it was surrendered to the USA at the conclusion of the Spanish-American war it should be no surprise that Spanish would be the local language.hi isaiah i rynaSpanishSpanish :pThe official language of Cuba is Spanish.English.The official language of Cuba is Spanish.spanishNo, just spanish.the official language is Spanish.Spanish (although Cuban dialect practically makes it a separate language)Cuba is an island nation in the Caribbean between the United States and South America.
