Languages of United States

With over two-thirds of the planet's native English speakers, the United States is the second most populous English speaking country in the world (after India) and the most populous in terms of native speakers. Although the country has no official language at the federal level, 30 states have passed legislation making English the official language.
In addition, there is also a sizable population of Spanish speakers living predominantly in the border states with Mexico but also in largely in Florida, Illinois, and New York as well as other areas. There are a number of bilinguals, who speak both English and Spanish reasonably well but code-switch according to their dialog partner or context - some refer to this phenomenon as Spanglish.
Furthermore, French is also spoken in parts of Louisiana. Native American languages such as Navajo can still be heard in parts of Arizona and New Mexico as well as numerous other indigenous languages that are spoken on the country’s numerous Indian reservations and Native American cultural events (Pow wows). There are also numerous minority languages spoken among immigrant populations.
The American variety of English contains numerous loan words from European, Asian and African languages, that frequently also enter other varieties of English through American English.
