Spanish as the Second National Language of the United States: Fact, Future, Fiction, or Hope?

---

The status of a language is very often described and measured by different factors,including the length of time it has been in use in a particular territory, the official recognition it has been given by governmental units, and the number and proportion of speakers. Spanish has a unique history and, so some argue status, in the contemporary
United States based on these and other criteria. At least eight arguments have been identified that would promote this unique status:

1. Spanish was spoken in North “America” as a colonial language over 100 years before the establishment of the first permanent English-speaking colonies at Jamestown and Plymouth.
2. Two thirds of what is now the United States was at one time under an official
Spanish language polity.
3. The principal mode of initial incorporation of large numbers of Spanish speakers
to the nation was through war, including peace treaties providing various civil
rights, guaranteeing liberties, and the granting of citizenship en masse to those
conquered populations.
