Languages with highest number of Spanish loanwords?
Curious if anyone here knows what languages have the most Spanish loanwords? Yucatec Maya,Quechua,Galician, and Tagalog are ones that come to mind.

Re: Languages with highest number of Spanish loanwords?
Eliminating Indo-European languages for obvious reasons, the one I speak with the most borrowed Spanish words is Tagalog. Chavacano, which I don't speak, has even more, but it's considered to be a Spanish Creole, so maybe it doesn't count? Native Portuguese and Spanish speakers can understand Chavacano, and Chavacano speakers can understand Spanish. I understand it quite well because of my Spanish/Portuguese/Tagalog background. Native Portuguese speakers may understand it even better than native Spanish speakers who don't speak Portuguese, since some of the Chavacano pronunciations/word selections are more like Brazilain Portuguese than Spanish.

Wait did they delete the replies in favor of the post with the bad jokes, I'm confused.

Re: Languages with highest number of Spanish loanwords?
This topic was mentioned at least three times in the thread with questions and answers - and I wrote my contribution to that thread without even checking the number of entries in this one.
But could the answer be either Galego or Catalá?
