Usefulness of Languages

Firstly, the map is completely correct and all the info is right.

Secondly, you know perfectly that in USA there are 45 million of Hispanics officially, but everybody say (including the Federal Government) that there are 10-12 million of illegal Hispanics. So, there are 55-57 million of Hispanics in USA.

The situation in Canada is similar, but whith smaller figures. In the Canadian Census, the Hispanic population is not so big, but the unofficial data say that there are over 1 million of Hispanics there. Take a look at these Canadian websites:

The launch of tlñ en español responds to the emerging needs of one of the country’s fastest growing third language communities. By 2005, Spanish speakers were the third largest group of non-English speaking immigrants to Canada, more than Punjabi speakers*, and by 2006, almost one million Spanish speakers lived in Canada. **

SPANISH IN PHILIPPINES TODAY

Recently there seems to have been a resurgence in interest in the language among educated youth as seen in recent survey by the Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española (English: Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language), which showed that there were roughly 2,900,000 Spanish speakers in the Philippines (as a first, second, third, or fourth language) in 2006

SPANISH IN ISRAEL TODAY

"El español es ahora la segunda lengua extranjera en Israel".

Los israelíes le fueron dando esa importancia a través de los últimos años y el Ministerio de Educación hizo eco de lo que pasa en la calle y a diario. Hoy el español está reconocido como segunda lengua extranjera, con el mismo status del inglés y el árabe y aprobada como materia de cultura general, válida para todas las escuelas de Israel. El nivel de estudio de la lengua entre los israelíes llegó a niveles muy altos y hay un gran desarrollo de la literatura de alto vuelo con extraordinarios valores de interés interpretativo.

Some French people, even if you give 10 webpages written by PMB Statistics Canada, Broadcastdialogue, English Wikipedia, Philippine Academy of the Spanish Language, an Inspector of the Spanish language (Ministry of Education, Israel) , Instituto Complutense de Estudios Internacionales, El País or Instituto Cervantes, don't want to believe some data.

If they read ONLY 1 webpage written by a francophone, they believe that French is spoken in Mars. That sounds fishy!

<<What do you mean by "same character"? In Japanese, language names usually end with "go" (語)meaning language. Here's English (eigo)英語 and スペイン語 (Supeingo) or Spanish. >>

In the first post, English is written 英文.

... while all the other languages end with 语

英文, stress on written English.

英语（語）, stress on oral English.


文=character

语（語）=language


Usually 文 & 语（語） can interchange, but sometimes they can't.

The situation in Canada is similar, is much smaller figures. In the Canadian Census, the Hispanic population is not so big, but the official data say that there are just 300,000+ of Hispanics there. Take a look at these Canadian and ethnologue websites:

The launch of tlñ en español do not responds to the unimportant needs of one of the country’s not fastest growing language communities. By 2001, Spanish speakers were the 7th largest group of non-English speaking immigrants to Canada, less than Punjabi speakers*, and by 2006 , almost just 300,000 Spanish speakers lived in Canada and no French or English Canadians speak Spanish.

As of now no census was realeased coming from Canada, the only reliable source of information so the links made by Instituto Cervantes or hispanic fanatics are full of lies, useless, and unreliable.

The hispanics are really liars. The following languages are the most important by order after Hebrew, Arabic, and English.

Russian: Russian is by far the most widely spoken non-official language in Israel. As many as 16% of Israelis are fluent in Russian after mass immigration from the USSR and its successor states in the 1970s, 1990s, and 2000s. The government and businesses often provide information in Russian, and it is semi-official in some areas.

French: Spoken by many Moroccan, Algerian, and Tunisian Jews, either as a native or second language of these francized Maghrebi Jews, French is also spoken by the increasing number of new immigrants from France and other French-speaking countries, as well as by foreign workers from western Africa. For many years French had been the diplomatic language of Israel, and it is still taught in many Israeli schools. The French embassy’s Institut Français supports French studies in Israeli schools.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Israel

For speakers of Hebrew, Arabic is a required subject from 7th to 10th grade (the fourth year has just been added in the new policy) and optional in 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th grades. Schools may choose to offer French instead of Arabic, and new immigrants are exempted from the requirement.

French, recognized as important because of cultural, political and economic ties and as the community language of a sizable body of immigrants, is taught optionally (or as a required subject in place of Arabic) from 5th to 12th grade. Russian is offered as an optional language for new immigrants (and as an alternative to Arabic or French) throughout the system.

The policy encourages students to also study a third foreign language. Languages in which there exist programs are Yiddish (also used as language of instruction and taught in the independent ultra-orthodox schools), Ladino, Spanish and German; the policy seeks to add others like Japanese. The new policy also encourages the development of special language schools.

Languages other than English

At conversation schools and in the JET(Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme, there is also a certain demand for native speakers of foreign languages other than English, especially French, German, Spanish, Italian, Korean and Chinese(in that order).

According to http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census01/products/analytic/companion/lang/canada.cfm

Chinese reaffirmed as Canada's third most common mother tongue
The 2001 Census reaffirmed the position of Chinese as Canada's third most common mother tongue.

Almost 872,400 people reported Chinese as their mother tongue, up 136,400 or 18.5% from 1996. They accounted for 2.9% of the total population of Canada, up from 2.6% five years earlier. Italian remained in fourth place, and German fifth, although their numbers declined. Punjabi moved into sixth, and SPANISH SLIPPED to seventh.

Language groups from European countries still made up the majority of the allophone population. However, the population of these groups is much older, and therefore, their numbers continued to decline.

Allophone groups from Asian and Middle Eastern countries recorded the largest increases in numbers. In addition to Chinese, the language groups which reported the largest gains in numbers since the 1996 Census were Punjabi, whose numbers increased by 70,200, or 32.7%; Arabic, which increased by 54,400, or 32.7%; Urdu, which rose by 43,100, to almost double its 1996 level; and Tagalog, up 41,600 or 26.3%.

Of those, 85 are living languages and 4 are extinct.

Multilingualism in Israel

Israel is a complex, multilingual society:

With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Hebrew became the national language some fifty years after its revival as the language of Zionist identity. The majority of the population uses Hebrew, but for only half of them is it their mother tongue.
The waves of new immigrants who have come to the State since its creation, more than doubling its population have learned Hebrew informally or in Ulpanim (intensive programs).

Arabs who speak the Palestinian dialect of Arabic as their first language and whose schools teach Standard Educated Arabic, find it necessary to learn Hebrew both formally in school and informally at work.

Arabic, the language of Israel's largest minority and of the region, is taught in junior high school to Jewish pupils, a small percentage of whom continue to study it at high school.

English is de facto the second language of speakers of both Hebrew and Arabic. It is the main language for external commerce and tourism, and a required language for all Jewish and Arab schools, and for the universities (which teach in Hebrew).

French is taught in schools and known by many immigrants.
Various Arabic and Judeo-Arabic dialects are spoken by Israeli Palestinians and by immigrants from North Africa, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and other Arabic speaking countries.

Yiddish is spoken by older immigrants from Eastern Europe and by many ultra-orthodox Jews. Some 3000 pupils learn it at school,

Judeo-Spanish (Judezmo or Ladino) is still used by some Jews from Greece and the Levant; and Judeo-Aramaic (Kurdit) by Jews from Iraq and Iran;

European languages like French and Russian and Hungarian and German and Polish are spoken by immigrants from Europe, and Spanish by those from Latin America.

English is the native language of immigrants from North America, South Africa, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

In the last few years, 75,000 Jews arrived from Ethiopia speaking Jewish varieties of Amharic and Tigrinya, some also reading Giiz;

Nearly a million recent immigrants from the disintegrating Soviet Union speak mainly Russian but also other languages of the region.

There are about 200,000 foreign workers, some legal and many illegal, who speak various European, Asian and African languages.

There are newspapers published and radio programs in many of the immigrant languages, which continue to be used within the home and the community. Younger immigrants (children going to school or younger adults serving in the Army) rapidly become Hebrew speakers, but many older immigrants maintain the use of their first languages. Other significant non-Jewish language communities use as their first language Armenian, Circassian (Adygey), Assyrian and Domari (a Gypsy language).

<< It must remembered that French is the first language taught as a second language in Australia and the audience of French learners covers all age groups. >>

However, in language book shops ( the ones that I have seen) in Australia, the Spanish section usually appears larger than the French section. Book counts have been undertaken from time to time support this. A scientific study would need to be conducted to draw good conclusions.
