Hogs gonna be squealing about a Chinese takeover conspiracy if they see this lmao
Surprised to see German on top in South Carolina. There are towns with German names here, but I’ve never heard it spoken. Heard much more Korean and two different Mayan languages. Also wondering if they lumped Gullah in with English.
Early European settlement in Australia almost eradicated the indigenous languages, and few of these aboriginal languages have survived today.
The 2011 analysis of language spoken at home indicate that majority of Australians speak English only as compared to non-English Speakers. Overall about 76.8% of the people speak English only, 18.2% are non-English speakers.
Apart from English, Mandarin is the dominant language spoken at home by 1.6% (336,178 people) speakers. Other emerging languages include Punjabi, Filipino/Tagalog, and Arabic.
Sydney, Australia’s most multicultural city, records about 30% of the population do not speak the English language at home. Sydney and Melbourne house more than 65% of non-English migrants who in general speak some 240 foreign languages. Many immigrants use their mother tongue and have smattering English. As a result, about 1 million migrants cannot speak English which is a huge number especially in a country of about 20 million people out of which 15% (3 million) residents speak a second language at home.

I wonder why Tagalog is so prominent in Nevada
Quebec - Upper Appalachia Unification when?
Treating mandarin and Chinese like they’re the same language is like saying German and English are the same language cmv
Cantonese and Mandarin are different. Chinese normally just refers to mandarin. Also Cantonese and Mandarin are much closer then english and german. Closer to spanish and portuguese.
The reason Cantonese is/was dominant in the West was because early Chinese immigrants were mainly from Guangdong Province, that’s why Chinatowns are/were mostly Cantonese. Nowadays Chinese immigrants are most likely Mandarin speakers, and Chinatowns are slowly turning into Mandarin dominant.
