Foreign Language Skill

I have a question about the definition of a foreign language by the DOL in the context of a Spanish-speaking US territory.
In the case where a Spanish-teaching university in Puerto Rico is in the process of preparing a PERM application on behalf of a music professor, would Spanish be considered by DOL as a foreign language ?
As a consequence would the requirement of Spanish increase the wage level for the position ?
Any legal clue?

Thanks,
 
Inclusion of foreign language requirement will not increase wage level for position. Employer is required to document business necessity of foreign language requirement.
