Would you support the United States adopting Spanish as the official language?
-
This question has been asked at least one year ago but I am putting a fresh spin on it. I am a white female that is 1/3 German 1/3 French and 1/3 English which equals 100% American. I have started to speak Spanish as a second language and am hoping to make it my primary language over English. I have 1 month of Spanish self lessons and am finding it harder to speak English as my language. I am not as smart as those that can speak numerous languages fluently but I am finding that it is getting easy to learn the language. This gets me to thinking that it would not be very hard for people smarter than I am to learn a new language relatively fast. What I am wondering is if there would be support for an act to change the official language of the United States to Spanish to make it easier for those that speak Spanish to transact business in the US

Answer:
No. I think it should be Japanese instead -- for the US and for the world! :) Besides, Spanish has way too many dialects. :P Just look at the list of them! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dialects_and_varieties#List_of_dialects_and_varieties

Chinese would be a better choice, if the US was to change languages.

I would support both English and Spanish being official co-languages of the United States, but not Spanish as the sole official language. Note that the United States has no official language, English is the PRIMARY language of the United States. Some states and communities, however, have made English their official language. Although making Spanish the official language would benefit communication with Latin America, it would also alienate us from the rest of the world. English is not the global lingua franca because of America. It was the Britons who spread the language around the world through their empire.

No, why in the world would they do that. The majority of americans primary language is english. Even most spanish speaking people's primary language is english because they speak it at school, work, and other places. Living in the U.S. how could you possibly try to make spanish your primary language over english when your life is surrounded by english? I really don't think you pondered this question too much before you wrote it.

If there were three votes: -YES -NEUTRAL -NO I would choose NEUTRAL. However, if it were to adopt Spanish only and not English, then I would choose NO.
