, 22:59, August 22, 2007→Engilsh as official language?: Prosody is not really correct.
:: I was just wondering where the 2007 estimates came from. The Factbook has 2006 estimates, so it's not too dated. Whatever. [[User:ATang|ATang]] 10:10, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

English has never been codified as an official language of the United States. Many individual states have taken this action, some with the addition of additional minority languages. The page should be changed to reflect this. [[User:Prosody|Prosody]] 18:36, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

::He is not correct. The article doesn't call English the ''[[official language]]''. There is a taxobox entry tagged ''language''. This is merely informative, in case someone didn't know what language most Americans speak.
::We need an article on the "English as an official language" controversy. It relates to immigration and to the [[pluralism]] vs. [[particularism]] conflict. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:59, 22 August 2007 (EDT)
