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

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.

Or sauerkraut or Volkswagens or Porsches.

Used to be French - now it's Portuguese but a corrupt Cape Verdean dialect of it.

Town where I grew up bought a white firetruck (before it was considered racist so to do). They had to add "Departement de Feu" in gold leaf under "Fire Department" because the Froggie kids thought it was an ice-cream truck.

That doesn't make sense. Ice cream is crème glacée in French. Nothing like "fire department".

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

Never been to South Philly then?

PA is where I learned to love eggplant parmesean. And where I learned how it's properly made.
