The Languages of the United States of America

What language does the United States of America actually speaks? Are there other languages that the United States would use and/or speak along with their principal language? Well, English is the official and the primary language of the United States of America, everybody who comes to live, do business, and/or come to visit for a descent amount of time should know and be able to speak English fluently while they can keep their native or origin language that is not English mostly at home. Yes, here in the United States we have secondary, tertiary, and other list of order of languages that are spoken a lot here. The secondary language for example here in the United States is mostly Spanish, but there are areas where French and maybe even German and some Native American Indian languages are the secondary.

In the United States of America we primarily, uniformly, and officially speak English. English is America's language, but there are variations of other languages that immigrants and descendant groups would speak at home and or on a certain occasion but they would speak English in the public and the business matters since they are living in the United States. In America we do have secondary languages as well as tertiary. Our secondary language is Spanish, perhaps Spanish in most places. Some places we have French, Portuguese, and maybe even German and some Native American languages that plays as the secondary over Spanish. Most of all French is our tertiary while the other languages comes after in the list of orders. In the Southwestern region of the United States as well as Southern Florida, New York, New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Connecticut, the Chicago area, the DMV (D.C-Maryland-Virginia), the Carolinas and Georgia are where Spanish largely plays as the secondary language. That's why Spanish is America's true secondary language. Now in areas like Louisiana, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, French is the secondary language for those places of the United States. That's how French earned its spot as the tertiary language in our country. In many Native American Indians reservations which they are usually in the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Basin Deserts regions as well as the Native Eskimos or Inuit in Alaska are where their native languages would be their secondary language or even their primary and official while English should be their important secondary. There are some places but mainly communities in Southern Florida and a few other places in the United States where Portuguese would play as the secondary language in those areas due to the large percentage of Brazilian immigrants and/or descendants as well as Portuguese people from Portugal. In other places like in some parts of North and South Dakota, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania is where German could play as the secondary language but a lot of that among the regular American people is dying. Mostly the Amish and the Mennonites in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia could fluently speak German and/or Dutch with their own dialect as both the primary/official and the secondary language, they would only and/or mostly speak English to the outsiders of their community. http://cis.org/record-one-in-five-us-residents-speaks-language-other-than-english-at-home

Finally, we have smaller communities of other small minority groups that would speak another language that is other than Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Native American. In those smaller minority sect, they would speak English as their primary and official language but would also speak their native origin language as a secondary unless they're newly arrived immigrants where it's the other way around. Even if they're newly arrived immigrants to our country where English would be their second language but the next generation of theirs would have English as their first language and their parents language as the second and so forth. For example, other minority languages or groups in the U.S that are smaller than the others would be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Turk, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, Irish, Polish, Czech, and etc..  http://cis.org/record-one-in-five-us-residents-speaks-language-other-than-english-at-home

So these are the many different languages that America could really speak and use. Those group of dozens and dozens of foreign languages and/or Native American languages that are spoken here in the United States only makes up the smaller fraction of the language usage population. Languages like Spanish, French, a little bit of German and Chinese, and possibly Portuguese and Dutch would make up the larger fraction out of the minority languages in the United States. English is the majority language of the United States of America which is why English has its spot as the principal language of America since the birth of our nation in 1776.
