If you believe that the canal in Panama is the dividing line between the Americas, then you could count Panama, which would make 10. Official languages in other South American lands are Dutch, French, English, and of course, Portuguese. I did not count any island nations which might be mostly Spanish-speaking, since they are not part of the South American mainland.
