Wow. I’ve lived my whole life in Alaska. I had no idea we had that many official languages. Good question.

USA has no official languages at the federal level.
Heartman
the US can say there's no official language but simply by default it is English because Federal documents are produced using the official language of that country
Kat
Player #13173675, I agree. It's time we make English our official language.

Alaska is a beautiful state and I am so glad that our ancestors had enough foresight to purchase Alaska. It has some of the most breathtaking sites in the USA.

....and being from Alaska, some of those languages are dying cause the kids don't want to carry on their heritage.

Kat, why?This is America, a melting pot,many people, many languages mades for a more tolerant experience. Read a book....

I thought maybe the Russian language would also be included in this looong list. Because of the northern west border being close to Russia and some Russians immigrating to Alaska back in the day.

It’s always the “more than” choice.
Les
Player #1881512, I'm Amazed that you have never encountered any of these different languages while living in Alaska....???
Lmao
Player #35387966, more truer words cannot be said 🙃

Wow. I had no idea there were so many native languages!!
Chuck
Patricia , The Tower of Babylon. Just saying...
Lionessa
Heartman, Yes, but we also provide those documents in 50 other languages, costing a fortune in that boondoggle alone. 40 years ago, it was ONLY English.
Bob R
I knew there were more than 3 official languages but didn't know there were that many.
Jackie
Lily, 30 states have it as their official language
Jackie
TimothiusRex, 30 states have English as their official language
Jackie
Player #240119, only 30 states have made English the official language!
Tab5
RJHondo57, I did, too. I was really surprised to not see it on the list of languages.
Tab5
Player #29793410, that's sad. They'll want it when they're older.
Lily
Player #240119, the US never had an official language. English may be the common language, but it was never put on the books as official.
Smurffy
Ambi, So very true. Thanks.
Smurffy
Player #1881512, Neither did I. Alaska, the final frontier.
Ambi
Player #1881512, Better pay attention. There might be other things you might need to know that could be just as important or more important for your life.

if you have the choice of "all of the above" or "more than/over..." its always that one.
Player #48508210

TimothiusRex, official language Should be English. It would prevent a lot of disagreements and battles.

Player #13173675,
Actually it isn't a "waste".
It facilitates business and increased tax revenue to the government from an improved economy offsets the expenditure.
Crack open a book or two and learn something.
Player #22007309
Player #240119, English should be. why do I have to press 1for English? Here in California insurance papers come with over 50 different languages. What a waste of paper and time. Don't they know who they are sending the information to?

TimothiusRex, very sad
