What’s the most common language in your home state?

Anyone know off the top of their head what the 3rd most common non-English language is in the US? No googling!
 
It's Polish in Ill,

That explains so much.

:D

But in PA it should be Pennsylvania Dutch or Dutchy, cuz I find it hard to buy that there's enough Italians to make a dent


Then you don't know PA. Italians are one of PA's largest ethnic groups.

Pennsilfaanish Dietsch isn't spoken by many.

We have this book translated into that language

I recall watching Bruno Sammartino wrestle as a kid growing up. I was a huge fan. He was one of the more popular Italians, he was an Italian immigrant who lived Pittsburgh. However, I believe there are more Italian Americans in Philadelphia. There is a Little Italy in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, thus both cities have a significant number of Italian Americans.

im Sicilian/Italian....where i grew up in Western NY a lot of Italian was spoken.....sometimes exclusively....
 
In the Mississippi Delta region in the 1920s there was a brief, disastrous attempt to replace blacks who were migrating to northern cities with Italian immigrants to fill the labor shortage.


It didn't work out too well.

No doubt New York is the state that has the most Italian Americans than any other state. I recall Brooklyn had a huge Italian American population.

i havent been to a good Italian restaurant since those days....
 
Seeing Hmong in Minnesota sort of surprised me until I realized a lot of the persecuted Vietnamese minority settled there after fleeing their homeland.
I am very surprised that it was not Somali in Minnesota. :eusa_eh:

I noticed that the most dominant language after English and Spanish is German. It's not surprising since a huge wave of Germans moved to the US after WWII. If it were not for the Germans, we wouldn't have hot dogs or hamburgers. :D

My father's family came from Germany in the very early 1900's My grandmother from Frankfurt and grandfather from Hamburg.
