Morphine Prince 109,654 Posted March 1, 2025 Share Posted March 1, 2025 WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order aimed at making English the official language of the U.S., according to a White House official. It’s the first time in history the country would have an official language, though the majority of U.S. states have already designated English as their official language. It is unclear when Trump will sign the order. People who go through the naturalization process to become U.S. citizens are also required to take an English test in which they "must demonstrate an understanding of the English language, including the ability to read, write, and speak basic English," according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. While English is the most widely used language in the country, U.S. residents communicate in more than 350 languages, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. More than three-quarters of Americans speak only English at home, according to the bureau. The change is consistent with Trump's hard-line immigration stance, including his executive order ending birthright citizenship — which several courts have struck down.

Ayesha Erotica 1,924 Posted March 1, 2025 Share Posted March 1, 2025 I think English is already strong and would not need it. Even in California English is strong. Other countries should rather protect their languages from English, so many universities switching to English medium instruction, you have classes where the students and lecturer have their common native language but must speak English because universities want to boost their reputation, which makes their native language less valuable.
