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

Hmong?

Hmong?

Nope (although the answer is a matter of some dispute).

It's Polish in Ill,

That explains so much.



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


About Bunnies

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....

Hmong?

Nope (although the answer is a matter of some dispute).

ill go with French....

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.

Hmong?

Nope (although the answer is a matter of some dispute).

I regret to inform that is also not correct.

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'll hazard a guess that it is some dialect of Chinese.

I take issue with there assessment of my home state of Florida. It has to be Hispanic. I know it's Hispanic in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando, creole can be found but Hispanic finds you.

Spanish is the most widely spoken in 43 of the States after English.....

Again is anyone actually reading the chart?

I guess this means Ebonic's isn't an offical language yet.

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.

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.

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

 

[Pogo]

Well, if it's OTHER than English or Spanish, that makes sense then. The title was misleading by saying most common language.

Yes it was. And here I was all set to post "North Cackalackian".

Shoot.
