That is why the Spanish vocabulary is so rich.<\/li><li>A Spaniard uses an average of 300 words. An educated person increases the number of words to 500 a day. A journalist or writer can use up to 3000 words a day.<\/li><li>Spanish has the gold medal for the fastest language to speak. This is measured by the number of syllables that can be spoken in one second by an average speaker.<\/li><li>Since 1994 the letters <strong>CH and LL are no longer included in the Spanish alphabet<\/strong>.
