Donald Trump will sign an executive
order on Friday making English the
official language of the United States,
according to White House officials.
The US president is also expected to
scrap requirements that federal
agencies provide language services to
non-English speakers.
The US has never had an official
language in the nearly 250 years since
the country was founded.
The order is intended to improve
government efficiency and promote
national unity, according to White
House officials.
Nearly 68 million of the country's 340
million residents speak a language
other than English, according to the US
Census Bureau, which includes more
than 160 Native American tongues.
Friday's executive order will roll back a
policy from 2000 signed by former
President Bill Clinton requiring
government agencies and federal
funding recipients to "ensure that their
programs and activities normally
provided in English are accessible to
LEP (low-English proficiency) persons".
Agencies will still be allowed to
provide that language access to non-
English speakers, according to White
House officials.
Republicans have led efforts in the past
to label English as the country's official
language, with members of the House
as recently as 2021 introducing
legislation on it that failed.
Those who opposed those efforts say
that the country does not need an
official language, pointing to the high
numbers of people who speak it and to
the country never having one, while
also saying establishing one could
promote discrimination against non-
English speakers.
During his presidential campaign last
year, Trump included non-English
languages in his statements calling for
stricter immigration policies.
"We have languages coming into our
country. We don't have one instructor
in our entire nation that can speak that
language," he told a crowd of
supporters in February 2024.
"It's the craziest thing - they have
languages that nobody in this country
has ever heard of. It's a very horrible
thing," he said.
And during the 2016 campaign he said,
"This is a country where we speak
English. It's English. You have to speak
English!"
When the US was founded, most
residents spoke English and those
writing the country's constitution did
not feel it was necessary to enshrine it
as the official language and also did not
want to alienate fellow new citizens
who spoke German or other languages,
according to most scholars.
The languages currently spoken the
most in the US after English are
Spanish, various Chinese languages,
Tagolog, Vietnamese and Arabic,
according to the Census Bureau.
A further approximately one million
people use American Sign Language,
according to experts.
Approximately 180 countries around
the world designate official national
languages, and most countries
recognise multiple official languages.
However, several countries besides the
US do not have an official language,
including the United Kingdom.
There are more than 30 US states which
have designated English as the official
language, while Alaska and Hawaii
have also bestowed official status on
several native languages.

Okay Mr trump

Everybody don Ronu.

No one is holding you back from having your poto-poto republic. There's never a time you want to leave Nigeria, you know the suffering waiting for you without Nigeria.

Every of your gra-gra is to see if other tribes will fall for your trick and hand over presidency to you... E no go work bro, work hard if you want to be in Aso Rock ... It is not birthright of any individual of any tribe.

If you really want to exit you know what to do.

mrvitalis:
Countries... It's stupidity to Ronu yet want to share a centralized country with others

The highest form of Ronu is to ask Tinubu to restructure Nigeria or divide it along ethnic lines...

But we and u know why yorubas would never want that

Operation wetie would be child's play
