Hi guys! I hope you’re all fine, I want to talk to you about
an interesting subject related to the United States and the variety of
languages now a days we can find there.
In order to start, is well known that USA has got a
different states, all of them with their own laws, religions, cultures, etc. and
because of that we can hear a variety of different languages.
United Sates population it’s varied, they came from
all over the world, exists a cultural variety. Currently in this country people
speak around 300 languages, that’s why English is not the official one.
Among the 10 most spoken languages in United States
are: English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, French, Vietnamese, German, Korean, Russian
and Arabic.
This fact don’t allow that United States could have an
official language because this might be consider “antidemocratic and a threat
to human liberty”.
In my opinion, as I said before this is an interesting
topic that will have two parts, in one hand the ones on favor and on the other
hand the ones against, so personally I think that having an official language
don’t affect to human liberty as one group affirms, but it’s just a way to be
recognize as part of a country, as in Chile and our Spanish language.
Now, I introduce a video in which that show us
different languages present in USA.

I think this topic is really interesting, the video was a great example of what you were saying. All my life i thought USA had english as their national language as we do with spanish, but after your groups presentation i learned this which i believe is really important.
ResponderEliminarI have to agree with the no official language policy, not because it would be a threat to human liberty, i'm agree because nowadays USA is one of the countries with the most cultural diversity and having a specific language would force all this diversity to loose it's identity.
