should spanish be our countries native language?

Answer 1

No way. Last I knew our constitution was written in English!

Answer 2

Not no but hell no. The language of the United States is "American English" not Spanish. Immigrants and visitors should make an attempt to learn the language. When I was in the service and stationed over seas I made the attempt to learn the local language. It is not unreasonable therefore to expect o require immigrants to learn English. This is our country and those that come here to live need to adapt to us not the other way around. There is no loss of identity by learning a new language I can speak enough of several languages to get some sort of help from the native speakers in getting what I want.

As long as I live here in the US I feel no need to communicate in any other language but English. If a Spanish speaking person tries to talk to me in Spanish I say Habla Englese por favor no hablo mucho Espanol. Translation: Please speak English I don't speak much Spanish.

Answer 3

The US is the fifth largest Spanish speaking country in the world, but we should maintain our English Heritage and make steps to becoming a bilingual country. It is inevatible, that eventually the Spainsh Language will play a major role in the fuure of our country. So get ready to see signs in two languages like in Quebec.
Id also like to add that unlike most countries the United States does NOT have an offical language. Futhermore the reason we do not is because if we did vote for an offical language when we wrote the Constitution in 1787 German could have easily won.

Answer 4

well lets see, um no!!!!!!11 My family is moving to Germany in a few months, do you think they will change their language for me? No I believe if you live in a country you should speak that language when ever possible. I think it is a good Idea to try to learn other languages thouigh. We were out in texas not too long ago and I am a Licensed Insurance agent and did not get the job because I was not fluent in spanish that is not right.

Answer 5

How can it be the native language? Do you mean official language? I'll learn Spanish when you learn English - "countries"?

Answer 6

Noooo. The majority speak English in the US. Can you say Babylon? So many languages they couldn't accomplish their goal.

God came down and punished the people’s arrogance by creating a confusion of different languages.

Answer 7

Uh, no. It's a good and helpful language to know, but it shouldn't be the native language.

Answer 8

Why? I'm not spanish. If I moved to China could I require them to change their language to english? Certainly not

That is the best answer, I am Co-signing to this answer.

Answer 9

Does it really matter? As long as you can communicate with the majority of the people around you, or at least the ones who can help you and you can help in the continuation of general society, who cares what language you do it in.


Spanish is a much easier language to learn than American English though; American english borrowed too much from all the other languages (mainly British english, French, Spanish, German--it is in fact originally a German based language, and Italian). Spanish rules and the words themselves are far more consistent than American English.

Answer 10

Why? I'm not spanish. If I moved to China could I require them to change their language to english? Certainly not.

Answer 11

Cherokee and other aboriginal languages have more claim to being the "native" language than smallpox-bearing Spanish and their genocidal gold-lusting brethren.
