1) It is spanish, and that's what it is meant to mean on the flag itself.
(I'm glad somebody finally mentioned this. - I won't have to explain myself in depth when I come up with my long hypothesis post later on. w00t.)
2) When the flag was made, the country was still divided up into territories. Spanish settlers could of had a larger role than they do now in Montana at the time as opposed to the assumed large population of French(Canadian) who are now currently just north of Montana in Canada and may be in Montana as well.
