No we do not. However (depending on your source) 28 or 30 states have passed legislation making English their official language.

No, english is just the language that is spoken mostly. The Government can not make an official language no matter the history or popularity.

No, not at the Federal level. English is the national language.

because of the fact we are a federal republic. The shape would not supply the federal government the ability to make a language authentic. The ninth and 10th replace provides states that proper. some states have yet another language to boot to English, and not purely Spanish- Hawaii has Hawaiian and Louisiana has French as co-authentic. whether, English has had de facto status as authentic language. whilst a lot of our regulations are translated into Spanish, you are able to no longer invoke a Spanish interpretation of the regulation in courtroom. regulations in Congress limit speaking in the different language different than small words on the homestead and Senate floor. As for the 2nd section, i do no longer think of we ought to continuously have regulations which coerce people to income English. yet there ought to be social rigidity.

No
There has been debate wether or not we should have one tho. I personally think we do not need to define one. Businesses and companies can however require on their own the use of English if they wish and can do so legally.
