[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These languages are not widely spoken. Spanish is. Spanish is also, arguably a native language of the US as when the US was formed and expanded it [b]took over Spanish territories[/b].[/quote] Florida, Texas, most of the Southwest (New Mexico, Arizona, large swaths of California), Puerto Rico, and others were taken from either Mexico or Spain via war. Many people already living there were descended from Spanish ancestors. Though by this logic we also should count Dutch (New Netherlands), Swedish (New Sweden), and French (the Louisiana Purchase, even if that was from Spain) as "native" languages.[/quote]
