**** no.
i mean i dont hate on the spanish people, but i do think that if they are in AMERICA, and ENGLISH speaking country, they should have to speak english.

if spanish because the dominate language i would move away with HUGE dissappointment..
but i strongly believe that it will never become of that.

No. I think that English should be the official language of America. The Spanish and Mexican people that come here should have to learn our language, just like if we were there we would have to learn theirs. If I lived in Taiwan, I would have to learn how to speak Thai. They wouldn't adapt around me, I would have to adapt around them and their culture.

why should it? nearly everyone speaks english, so why shouldn't english be the "official" language? Just because the illegal hispanic population is growing does NOT mean we should help them out by learning THEIR language. they came here, so they should learn english

Definitely not. When I came here I had to learn American English, so I was able to understand everyone. If People want to come to this country they should conform, adopt the Language and the Laws.

When th country was first founded they took a vote, English won over German by one vote. Even then they knew that multi languages would b a problem for government n an economic drain. English is th universal language. 300 million Chinese speak english. English should b a prerequisite for citizenship.
Bilingual ed is a lost cause n less effective than emersion.
I might add that none of th Spanish speaking countries compete with America. There is a reason for that, language.
This said I think our standards r to low, no HSD should b conferred without a second language proficiency.
Th Hispanic global community has an organization n in th 90's have tried to make their alphabet more like ours.

technically the U.S. has no official language, except for Hawaii, where the official language is Hawaiian.

edit: I love the comment about learning to speak Thai if she lived in Taiwan, considering that the official language of Taiwan is Mandarin.

as a Spanish speaker No i like my English well more.

No. It might become the second official language but not the first. Like the Canadians got English and French.

No. Even though Spanish is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S., many Americans still speak English as a main language outside their homes.

No.

When this nation was started no officially sanctions languae was specified. This was because, there was no dominant language in the original colonies. There were 5 european languages (English, German, French, Danish and Spanish)and several Native American languages in use.
English has long since become the defacto standard language and it makes sense because English is the preferred language for international commerce at this time. Making Spanish the official language would make it a legal requirement for all government paperwork to be in Spanish. It would require all non native Spanish speakers to learn Spanish. So why should the majority of the population be required to conduct all business in the language of a specific minority?


NSA
No. America has more English speakers, why change?

English is the most common language on Earth. All those that do not speak English need to catch up.

30 states in the Union have English as their official language.

Approximately 82% of America speaks English, only about 10% speaks some form of Spanish.

There does not appear to be any reason for Spanish to be an official language outside of Spain.
