Would you approve of Spanglish being he official language of the North American Union?

My Mother, Great Grandparents and thousands upon thousands of people have immigrated to this country and learn our language. In fact, my Mother had to attend classes.

What makes the people from Mexico think we have to learn their language?

If you don't want to learn the native language of the country, DON'T MOVE TO IT!!!!

Amy V

No. Too many people around here speak german, polish, french, spanish, & farsi. Maybe if we went back to heiroglyphics and pictograms.

Groovy

He** NO! Ebonics is not a language either. Heck, Spanglish and Ebonics aren't lanuages at all, but rather dialects.

First, lets hope the North American Union, never happens.

dixie58

no if you want to speak spanish thats great but this is AMERICA we speak ENGLISH. if you cant be bothered to learn the language then simple go back to MEXICO end of problem.

Dark Chyld

If they don't have to learn English, why should I be forced to learn their language? Spanglish? lmfao! Why are high school students forced to learn Spanish in school by it being a required course with no other foreign language options available in some school districts?

It's simple, remove all Spanish from everything that's here, road signs, menus, products sold in stores, my power bill, the list goes on. By printing their language on everything the incentive to learn English isn't there. We make it to easy for them, make them learn it if they really plan on staying here.

Learn the language, It's what Mexico would require from myself if I moved there.

dapixelator

uh no- and ebonics isn't a real language either....

msmissy

A dialect maybe but not a language.
What the heck is Spanglish or Ebonics?
Just dialects of the people that didn't wisely use their publicly funded education taught in just plain English in America.
I didn't sign off on Ebonics so don't expect me to support Spanglish either. If we encourage ignorance, it surely will breed more ignorance.

Crazybird

No. It is the global business language and for that reason alone it would not be in our best interest.

Nancy Kay

go away with your ridiculous little self

sassyk

Nope

Pro-America, Anti-Illegal

No. English only.

Shockey Monkey

No freakin way

Lakota

No, but to make it better for you and help ease the rejection, how about a gift certificate from Taco Bell?

luv3dbb

No, never.

You must be smoking too much opium because there's no such thing as the North American Union much less would any country make slang into their official language. We don't even have an official language in the USA, though obviously if you don't know English then you are likely going to be mowing my grass for the rest of your life. Ebonics works fine for all of the unemployed people in the ghetto, is that how the Spanglish crowd lives too?

jason s

Dream on. No way.

sociald

ebonics failed, esperanto failed.. and all spanglish was was a bad movie.

abenezer s

i RATHER SEE THEM INTRODUCE PIDGINENGLISH.

mikea_va

Get real!!

If you don't have the intelligence to properly learn a language that is your problem. We should not have to compromise with ILLEGALS on anything.

Ebonics is not a real language. It is a term we use for the language impaired, ie those too ignorant to learn properly.

sonya h

I think ebonics is crazy and spanglish is crazy, this is american speak english

No, because it is divisive and is also not necessary. Language evolves entirely on its' own.
As to North American Union? ehhh not likely either. But hear me out...
English is a mixture of a whole bunch of languages, and already exists. It's a combination of several European languages such as Germanic and Latin languages. The future of English, if allowed to continue as it has, will include alot of Spanish, as it is already beginning to. It will still be called English, but will, for all intents and purposes, be as Spanglish as if you made it up and wrote it in a book today.
However, Spanglish is just a movie right now, and not a real language. It may be a dialect of English or Spanish, like Ebonics, but not a separate language.

calkitty

I like you being all proud about being mexican and not holding your tongue, but if you are so proud why not stick to mexico's official language, spanish? Why would you want english mixed in their? I'm mexican and i speak both languages and i dont have a need to mix them as one official language, by the way it won't happen so try as much as you want, it'll give you something to do..

John J

Never!

MrRock

No . Just Spanish.

04/12/2008 :)

LMAO.. I agree on the fact that if Ebonics can be a language then Spanglish should be too! hahahahaha... My Ex's mom spoke Spanglish! ahh its great!

girl

I have learned English as a second language. But to consider talking spanglish is ridiculous because it is for ignorant people. You can know both English and Spanish. Why mix them? And for those of you who think it's because we don't want to learn English, don't be stupid you can't talk spanglish without knowing English. It's just a slang way for talking.

Siervocal

Amen.
