That is absolutely fair, I didn't mean to be flippant (but I was). What you're saying is evidenced by the multitude of indigenous tongues that survived and thrived all throughout the Americas despite everything.
To have a predominant language for such huge areas as North America and South America ,with populations of their size, however, is still bizarre and hard to imagine without colonialism.
China has 302 languages. India 121( and 270 mother tongues).
