I was to let others ponder of this, very ,much surprised Leslie was not to pick up on this.
That country is of course {Falkland Islands}. Brazil is Portuguese speaking, the remainder is of Spanish speaking.

Well done with Guyana - it used to be British Guiana (or something like that)
Leslie
There is strong political discussion whether the Falklands are actually classed as S America - Britain tends to say 'no'.

It has been so long since my geography class that when I looked at the map of SA I was surprised to see Brazil was where Argentina is. I had them in reverse. Back to the books.
