Interesting graphic from the 2000 census. Try and find the white dots where is no second language.

The official language may be English but free speach is alive & well in the USA.

What one person in the county speaks a different language and that makes it a second language? Does it require you are fluent? Did it require the majority of the citizens in the county speak the language? Doubt it...remember 99.9% of statistics are made up on the spot

I've never seen a US Census questionnaire but I have to believe this is an accurate snapshot taken from a very large sample.

I would agree with you if this was some market survey of a thousand people.

What's up with all of the German speaking going on in the Dakotas and Montana? What is going on up there that I have not heard about.

I am French, I came to this country on my own 9 years ago, nobody forced me to come and now I want everybody to speak my language and I want all the documents to be written in French too.

Sorry to be sarcastic but that is the way some people think in some place here IMO.

I'm not going to bother to learn your language, you learn mine.

You'll have to move to Canada for that level of service.
