America's Most-Spoken Languages After English and Spanish

Chinese is the most-spoken non-English, non-Spanish language across 13 U.S. states, particularly in coastal and tech-hub regions like California and New York, while German maintains a significant presence in Plains and Mountain West states due to historical immigration patterns from the 1800s. The linguistic map also reveals regional language clusters reflecting migration patterns, including Vietnamese in the South and Plains, Arabic in the Midwest, Navajo in the Southwest, and French in New England and Louisiana.
