A record 67million people living in the United States do not speak English at home, a new study has revealed, accounting for just over a fifth of the population.


The study was carried out by The Center of Immigration Studies and was released on Wednesday. It is based on the newly released Census Bureau Data for 2017.


California has by far the highest number of non-English speakers per state, with 16.5million people (44 percent of its population) favoring other tongues.



Texas, where the number of 36 percent, has the second highest percentage, followed by New Mexico, New Jersey, and Nevada.
In the country's five major cities, the numbers are especially high.

In New York City and Houston, the figure is 49 percent. In Los Angeles, it is 59 percent, it is 36 percent in Chicago and 38 percent in Phoenix.


The highest percentage per city of anywhere in the country is in Hialeah, Florida, where 95 percent of the population do not speak English.




For the most part, the non-native English speakers are instead conversing in Spanish which is spoken by 40million of the 67million listed.


The next most popular languages are Chinese (3.5million), the Filipino language Tagalog (1.7million), Vietnamese (1.5million), Arabic (1.2million), French (1.2million) and Korean (1million).
Only 20 states across the country have a population of non-native English speakers that is lower than 10 percent.


The lowest is in West Virginia, where only 2 percent do not speak it at home.


The increase since 1980 is startling. Then, only 11 percent of the country (23million people) did not speak English at home.
Nevada has seen the sharpest increase over the last 37 years.


In 2010, the number was 718,000. Now, it is 875,000.


Washington DC saw the highest increase between 2010 and 2017 with a rise of 36 percent.

When my mom came to the states from Italy, she spoke English in our home because she wanted to learn English
