Hi fedi,
Non US here, I just read an article about how there are whole cities/neighborhoods that are only spanish speaking in the US, and how lots of places are already using both languages (administrations, hospitals, transports).
Is spanish so widespread in whole US or only is big cities/southern states?
It was an article about how there is no official language in the US and how it would be easier to recognize english and spanish as official languages.
It’s only in the more Hispanic areas. Miami for example had a lot of neighborhoods like that. Where my dad lived half my neighbors were Latino and spoke only Spanish, 1/4 were Latino and spoke both, and the rest were black and spoke English. I was the only gringo there.
But where my mom lived was more “upscale” and everyone spoke English and maybe half Spanish. That was predominantly.
Kansas City in the Midwest is mostly white and mostly only English speaking. But there’s parts of KCK that has a lot of Hispanic people and you’ll find some people there who only speak Spanish.
Outside of the city the only people you’ll find that only speak Spanish are the
slavesfield workers/meat packers.
