English has not been officially declared by law the official language of the united states, but it doesn't matter...you're balling technicalities. About 80-90% or so of the entire country can only speak english and no other language, and the rest of that percentage probably know it well, the bilinguals and so forth.
There are countries that have declared official languages that have the same if not a bigger % of people who "main" an alternative language to the country they reside in.
The law doesn't need to state it, it just is based on pure logic. Societal implication.
I hear the seat is open now, too. *sizzle

"Official languages None at federal level"
"English is the official language of at least 28 states—some sources give higher figures, based on differing definitions of "official".[6] English and Hawaiian are both official languages in the state of Hawaii. "
I don't need no fact checking, I used Wikipedia, a completely and 100% trustworthy source of legitimate information that can totally be cited as a source in college papers.
Technically there is no official language, and technically there is. Depends on what state you're in and whether or not you consider both state AND federal levels requiring something for it to be "official", only requiring one, or... Whether or not you go by the fact it's the most commonly used, known and accepted language in the country.
See I have no issue with it being the most accepted, but people always want to say "ENGLISH ONLY THIS IS AMERICA" yes but english isn't official, that was what I was pointing out. The point is, I understand that people want to understand others in-game but there's little we can do about it if they refuse and ignore those asking them to speak/learn english.
:x Anywho, I think I've spoken enough in these sort of threads on this topic as it seems majority of folks just want to assimilate others or block them via IP.
