please let us know which the first official language is.
Although everyone or most everyone speaks English in the US, it is not (yet) the country's official language.
If you consider that a custom becomes law, and English were actually the official language, then Spanish could be the second official language.

The United States has no official languages. Certain states and municipalities have English as their official language, usually as the result of some legislator passing a bill as a means of scoring some cheap points with an anti-immigrant constituency. In terms of cultural relevance, popularity, and use, though, English is clearly first, Spanish clearly second, after which the picture becomes more muddled.

The U.S. does not have an official language. Not a first or second official language, at least not legally, like other countries.

I don't think that there is a paricular language officially classified is second or third, after English.
However, Spanish is more widely spoken after English than any other language, due to the existance of very large communities which speak Spanish as their first language or second best.
All the best!

English is the only official language,but for the convenience of the general public different departments can publish publications in different languages and local school systems can add extra language classes in their syllabus.
