I speak the language of the country I reside in out of respect for the people of the land.

There are 29+ states that have declared English as the official language. My state doesn't have one yet but it will be English. New Mexico has two,English and Spanish. California and Arizona both have English as their official state language.
Many states have bills on the floor to make English the language of that state.
When did they try to make English this country's official language.? This issue has never come to a national vote of the people.Did you know that German almost became the language of the US government back when we became a nation.And that they wanted the turkey as our national bird but it lost out to the eagle.

Most states do have an official language(s) on their books while others don't. Only Hawaii (English & Hawaiian), Louisiana (English & French) and New Mexico (English & Spanish) have two official languages. Other such as Florida have English as their official language on paper, however this is just lip service, and really hasn't affected the use of other languages such as Spanish and Haitian Creole on state ballots, labor-related literature, and other government publications.

English is the most widely used language in the world.In asian countries, everyone there has to learn english because it's the primary language in the world.
If people want to migrate to a western country, they HAVE to learn english. And in Australia, to get a citizenship, you have to pass a national english test or you won't be counted as an australian.
Indians speak english, chinese speak english, tamils speak english, english speak english.
It's the primary language in the world.
Without english we don't know how to communicate to foreigners. There are 300 million people in the US alone who speak english. Then there is Canada, Australia, and the UK. Much of india, china, japan, europe, central america, and south america speak english as a second language.

In Texas, there's no official language. I hear English and Spanish everyday and see signs in English and Spanish.

I'm in Florida so if it's any language other than English it's probably either Spanish, Spanglish, or Russian.
