How many years will it be until Spanish is the dominant language of the US?

Answer 1

Depends on breeding rates, survival rates and what the English speaking White folks are willing to put up with. Which has been a lot so far. Bleeding heart liberal voters and reports have brain washed those who have a brain and leads the others(acid heads, feminists, other brain dead) around by the nose.

Answer 2

World wide Spanish is the second most common following Mandarin Chinese Hindi is like third on the list and English down about 4 or 5. Living in a border state as I do every one here speaks some Spanish but the people from Mexico all want to learn English. my kids have been in school classes where the learn both at the same time and to tell the truth I wish they would teach a few others as well. You go to other countries and the people speak several languages...seems to me that's a great skill.

as to your question...never... but I think more Spanish slang will work it's way into American English

Answer 3

I doubt that Spanish will ever be the dominant language of the United States. True, it does seem that Spanish is everywhere, even in small towns. However, the likely pattern is that the children of current immigrants will most likely be bilingual, learning Spanish at home and English in the classroom. The next generation will probably have English as their primarily language, and any Spanish that they know will be as if it where a second language learned at school.

Immigrants from any country know that in order to have success in the United States, English needs to be a reasonably fluent language with them, or more likely with their children. Immigrants do try to learn English, but are most comfortable with their native tongue. With the waves of immigration emerging from Latin America, Spanish is simply the most prominent and widespread.

However, until there are members of the US House of Representatives that speak only Spanish, I would doubt that English's role in the country it truly threatened.

Answer 4

I remember someone saying to me in LA some few years back, that most west americans believe spanish will be the dominant language in that part of usa before 2020. I personally think its already there in force, coming in with the immigrants over the mexico border mainly..

Answer 5

With any luck English will become the official language of American before that happens, the worse case situation is that the U.S. will become akin to Quebec where everyone is taught English and French and all signs show both languages. Personally, I don't see this happening anytime soon as Hispanics still make up a small percentage of the population, I think we are just noticing them more due to the common perceptions of them.

Answer 6

I think this is not a question , becouse Spanish is in process of meting down.
And English - an American as a language in state of development consume it ...

Anyway - The result will contain more English than Spanish ...
about 90 to 10 in %.

anyway this transformation is much visible in Spanish - i think it will be melted before English ..
Becouse English is keeped as a worldwide language, and will be hard to be melted so fast.

Answer 7

it's already is, because in some supermarket who is predominantly white they have the meat package instructions in English in Spanish. You can't get certain job without speaking a second language (Spanish is preferred and required). Some people are in denial like hurricane Katrina.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Whenever English fails to be the language of Finance.

Answer 10

Some of your answers have been quite literally rubbish: by the middle of this century, over half the population of the US will have spanish as their mother tongue; However at that stage it wont matter, because belioeve me Chinese will be the one to learn, as they will have conquered the world.
