50 years from now, our national language is...

[HedgeHog]

Spanish. W/O question.

Learn to speak Mexican boys---Do you Hablo?

[dwaechte]

No. If this is what you actually think I suggest you do some reading on the issue.

[nosniboR11]

[babyanni]

Press 1 for english

[HedgeHog]

I suggest you just observe our borders, the Southern ones anyways. Are today's kids required to take Spanish as a pre-requisite for college?

[dmtrader]

Probably more like Spanglish

[Deuce]

Learn to speak Spanish not Mexican. Also, this will not happen, English is the universal language.

I know the difference . The point is why should we learn their language when they're invading our country.

Is that a serious question?

I'm not saying that there isn't an increasing Spanish influence, but English is the global lingua franca, and that will take precedence.

Universally a Good Point. However, I don't see China invading the USA via our borders.

[PittsburghPlayer]

Chinese

No shit. They own America, just a matter of time until they move into their new home.

Reminds me of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitsgerald song ...

You can't see Spanish being the primary language here in 50 years? If not, you're the one that's clueless--but at least you're a politically correct moron.

[Sawyer]

I don't know 50 years from now but I know 500 years after..

Probably Chinese and Turkish will be the most common languages. These nations' population increase rate is very high

[THE PROFIT]

First of all, English is the language all other modernized countries teach their students at a very young age. English is the universal language, like the metric system is for math but the U.S. is too stubborn to adopt it.

The rest of the world unserstands the concept of knowing more language than one to compete globally. The younger generation of children in america I hope are learning Spanish at least at a younger age than my generation. It is much easier to learn a language around the age of 6-10. I never took Spanish until I was fifteen.

Spanish, I don't think, will be the primary language in the U.S. in any of our lifetimes, but it should be a language we all learn, as I mentioned most modern countries teach other languages, especially those languages of people they have conquered.

The US will conquer a people then get pissed that they don't speak english & drink Budweiser & drive a Chevy!
2/3 of the US was taken from a country whose primary language was Spanish. I think over the last 150 years they've done pretty well at adapting as I have traveled all over this country & never needed a translator.

I never really learned Spanish in high school, didn't feel a need for it & it was too hard to learn at that time so I didn't care, now I wish I had. We live in a country that was part of a Spanish speaking country at one time, we border a spanish speaking country, and the most widespread language spoken on the continents of North & South America is Spanish.

Quit bitchin' & learn to hablo espanol or stay in the house!

At least our currency will be printed in Chinese.

hahahha, this is the best answer yet

[Nickelicious]

Projections from the US Census Bureau:

---------------------------2008------------2050
Non-Hispanic whites-----68%------------46%
Hispanic (of any race)---15%------------30%
Non-Hispanic blacks------12%------------15%
Asian American------------5%-------------9%

However, White Americans overall (non-Hispanic Whites together with White Hispanics) will remain the majority, at 73.1% (or 303 million out of 420 million) in 2050, from 80% in 2006.

A lot of Hispanics and White Hispanics are learning to speak English as well as Spanish to assimilate with the job culture in the U.S.

Like with most subjects, follow the money. English is the required language of American industries and international business. Non-English languages will always be around and their popularity will grow, but the national language of the U.S. will always be English unless it is invaded and conquered by another country (even then, it would take decades for the conquering country's language to usurp English as the primary language in this part of North America).

Damn The Profit, you left me in aw of your comprehension of what mankind means rather than just confusing it with US, I have nothing against you fellows, all races and nationalities are the same to me, but I had very bad experiences with southern fellows in the US while visiting my family just because of the color of my skin, never had a problem with English as I thankfully speak it fluently because of the education I had, and it has opened a lot of doors in my life. Hedge, open your mind son and learn to live with it, or never go out of your place, and btw, my family invaded and conquered a part of Florida, be careful, they'll get to ya soon
