French is the third language in the USA
I don’t know how reliable this is, but through Didier, I learned that French is the third language spoken in the US. Here are the numbers:
| Rank | Language | Speakers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | English | 215,423,555 |
| 2 | Spanish | 28,100,725 |
| 3 | French | 1,606,790 |
| 4 | Chinese | 1,499,635 |
It seems amazing that Chinese would not greatly outnumber French. Go figure!
