The language that was widely spoken when the Spanish explorers reached Nicaragua was Nicarao.
What language was spoken in Nicaragua before the Spanish came?
Before the Spanish arrived in Nicaragua, the language that was spoken was that of the Native Americans in the area. This language was known as Nicarao and it was the language of the Nicarao people who used to occupy the area that is now known as Nicaragua before the Spanish came.
However, as was the case with many Native American groups in the areas that the Spanish took over, the Nicarao faced extinction as the Spanish invaded and occupied their lands. Indeed within a century after the Spanish had arrived, most Nicarao were either dead or had been sold into slavery which led to the language effectively disappearing.
In conclusion, the language that was most widely spoken in Nicaragua when the Spanish explorers arrived was Nicarao.
