Although English is the most widely spoken home-language in America (~80%), there is no established official language. Some states have chosen official languages (including English, Spanish, French, and Hawaiian-Pidgen), but the country as a wholehas not established one official language. There has been an effort to make English official, but I don't think that's right. =[

actually, there is NO OFFICIAL LANGUAGE in America...there is English but because of migration and origin of American people, there is a lot of language being spoken in America. there is no official language by the gov't because it might result to political conflict. having an official language might brand others not speaking it as the "minority". though American English is a dialect of English. (remember English is from England not America)...

Legally I don't think there is an official language in the US.
As an int resting foot note - I was in Washington a few years back and I was asked by an American family "What Language do you speak in England?" Dooh
God's honest truth.

American English is the usual language. I looked it up before. There are more people with German ethnicity though.
In California (from memory) some state documents have to be in other languages as well.

English - officially established as such by the first Congress of the United States of America. That is over 200 years ago.

While English is currently used by the majority, there is no "Official" language. To declare one is to politically incorrect for our current elected officials to make law.
Since we continue to add alternate languages in official government communication, I consider that sufficient proof that there is no "official" language
