The Most Common Language in Each State, Excluding English and Spanish

Even though most business and communications in America are conducted in English, we do not have an official language. And you may be surprised at how many Americans speak more than one language. Business Insider put together a map of the most prevalent language in each state, excluding English and Spanish. Some of these languages have been handed down from ancestors for hundreds of years, while others are due to relatively recent immigrants flocking to areas with other immigrants from the same nations. You might be interested in comparing this map to one we posted in 2014, as there have been some changes.

I'm a huge fan of Korean movies (they do really good ghost/supernatural ones) -- once you start feeling proficient, you'll have lots of opportunity to pick it up by ear by watching. I picked up a few words without even intending to after a few shows.

I'd like to know if there's somewhere that cites the exact number of people who speak the language on the map for each state. After all, once you exclude English and Spanish, there could theoretically be ONE person who speaks, say, Arabic, and that would be represented on the map in the same way it would be if there were 3 million people who spoke that language.

Strange- not too long ago, I read an article where the guy said, if Quebec is known for its French and English languages, why are all the signs in Chinese? But this map has the third language as Spanish!

Tight quarters wrench for getting to the back side of a beam flange (for the square nuts of the time) when there is no clearance for regular tools.

Who cares what it is. The real question is where does one obtain an awesome rug like that. I absolutely need to get one for my apartment.

Yikes. A handle at one end, a socket for the attachment of your choice at the other... I believe this is called "50 Shades of Uncomfortable Seating". The $10 bill is just there to make you feel cheap.

I know what that is! I saw someone using one just the other day! That is one of those things that they use when they need to use one of those things! It only cost $10?

Before shoelaces were invented, this device secured the bolthead closures to womens shoes and corsets. An overtightened corset could be fatal, but an undertightened corset could result in embarassment. Hence the term, 'loose' woman.

XL Tshirt, this is not a drill green.

It is a "go screw youself" device. Patented many years ago by Thomas Edison, who was patenting anything he could, he was told by George Westinghouse to go screw himself. Edison ever a quick thinker, and closet pervert, set his staff to the task of making a device so that he could screw himself. The picture above is what they came up with.

This device connects to the side of your banquet or sideboard. It is used to reverse someone else's plans. It is used to turn the tables.

Could it be a canal lock key, used for opening the hatches that allow the water to flow in and fill the lock and raise the boat.

Just a thought.
