Do you think they speak Italian in Argentina?

Some still do, but not many. Argentina was principally founded by immigrants from Italy, and to a lesser degree, from Spain. Argentines say "chau" for goodbye (pronounced the same as Italian "ciao") rather than "adios," like most of Latin America.

But that website is all Spanish. The Fish is right.

Point taken. There were also some German speaking immigrants in the 1940s and 50s.
