*This is based on knowledge of languages*
As an Ontarian, I’d argue the second most spoken language would be Hindi in 2026. Before you call me racist, my parents are Indian immigrants.
first time I’ve heard of the language Yupik and Tagalog
What do they speak in Nunavut?
How could English be 3rd? That’s crazy. Especially when the majority of non native speakers also speak English.
Edit: from your link.
According to the 2021 census, English and French are the mother tongues of 56.6% and 20.2% of Canadians respectively.[4] According to the 2016 census, a total of 86.2% of Canadians could conduct a conversation in English, while 29.8% could conduct a conversation in French.
WTF is Yupik, and why does ND speak so much German?
Interesting. I am surprised Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) is the second most spoken language in Hawaii. I had assumed it would be Mandarin or Cantonese (two different languages in the Chinese language(s) family) or Japanese. I knew there are a lot of people of Chinese and/or Japanese ancestry in Hawaii, but I didn’t realize people of Filipino ancestry outnumbered them by such a large margin.
Edit: The OP provided a list saying Chinese languages don’t make up any of the top 6 languages in Hawaii (including English). The Chinese ancestry or Chinese American population on Hawaii was about 17% of the total population back in 1900 and is about 15% of the population today…which is pretty significant. The fact that none of the Chinese languages made it into the top 6 suggests to me that the Chinese American/ancestry population on Hawaii are mostly assimilated/merged with other groups and cultures and basically mostly no longer speak Chinese languages.
Can a French speaker from Louisiana and someone from Paris have a conversation?
I’d love to see what is now vs this data from 2014
Surely the whole thing should be green….?
Very outdated map, Spanish is the most common in (at least) all lower 48 states.
It’s absolutely wild to me that Nd has been able to retain German in number two spot this long
Even with your source being out of date I really do not believe the Canadian ones are at all accurate. Like sure the entire country has French education, but it being the second most spoken language in almost every province and territory the entire country…? Are we counting “I remember how to ask permission to go to the bathroom in French from French classes as a kid” as being able to speak the language?
Been to Vancouver- yes.
Also- Tagalog in Edmonton should be #2. They are beating the Chinese almost… maybe? It is close.
Does North Dakota have a lot of Amish people?
Biggest regret of my life is not learning Cajun French from me mawmaw and pawpaw. They spoke it more than English. Sad they oppressed the speaking of it.
Honestly surprised that it’s not also Chinese or Punjabi in Ontario too. Wonder when this data is from.
You’re missing Puerto Rico and a few other parts of the US.
lol, for a second I thought blue was English, and Louisiana was in a bad way
„Chinese“ isn’t a language
