We are used to thinking that The official language of the United States is English, but in reality that's not entirely true. Today, more than 350 languages are spoken in the United States, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, English is just one of the most commonly spoken languages.
The historical reasons why the USA, unlike many other countries, does not have an official language are manifold. First at the time of the American Revolution, in the second half of the 18th century, The majority of settlers also spoke a second language beyond English, especially French and German (in this regard, the origin of the Indo-European languages has recently been discovered)
Afterward, the constant arrival of new European migrants It allowed other languages to “conquer” American territory, including Spanish and Italian, the languages most commonly spoken by the Latin population.
Apparently, English occupied the top positions among the most widely spoken languages in the 19th century. With the subsequent westward expansion and demographic growth of the population of non-English speaking origins, other languages began to occupy ever larger spaces in border communities, so much so that they are now present in some border states English has become a kind of lingua franca, while Spanish is the most commonly used language among family and friends.
At some point it was decided to ignore the question of the official language and to accept any form of language, even those most distant from English. That's why some official documents from states like New Mexico and California can be written in multiple languages so that everyone, including new immigrants, can understand what a new law requires.
With the exception of English, English is now the most widely spoken language in the United States Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, French and Italian. This variety of languages allows us to observe the social and cultural changes in the United States in recent decades, but also to understand the geographical origins of most American families.
Oddly enough, the least spoken languages in the United States are those used by the indigenous population until a few centuries ago. As history class teaches us, the Navajo, Yupik, Dakota, Apache, and Cherokee were not very lucky with the arrival of European settlers. Their culture has been marginalized and the spread of their languages was also affected.
Although the inhabitants of the United States have hundreds of different languages, linguists, for their part, agree that there is no language more beautiful than another and that it is people's tastes that determine which language is most appreciated within the population.
