      As a Louisiana native I hear Spanish spoken everyday in public. I’ve never heard French.

      Who TF is speaking French in Louisiana? This map must be from 1937 or something

      This type of map has been posted so so so many times and everytime it gets corrected in comments that French isn’t the second most spoken language in Louisiana for years. It’s also Spanish.

      its not a shift with language, and those are immigrants who will ultimately assimilate and speak english like everybody here

      Louisiana and North Dakota have Spanish as their second most spoken, it’s been said numerous times in the comments under these posts.

      I’m highly skeptical this map is accurate. I live in the Canadian prairies and the number of French speakers is really quite small other than maybe Manitoba. I’d bet Tagalog or Hindi/Punjabi would be second most popular after English.

      I’ve always wondered who these German speakers in the midwest are. Are they very old people who were born in the US to German immigrants in the early 20th century and grew up speaking it at home? I don’t think there were many German immigrants after the first world war.

      So in order to show a shift, you would need to have a couple of maps showing the change over time.
