In 2003, about 215 million, or 82% of the population aged five years and older, spoke only English at home. Spanish, spoken by over 10% of the population at home, is the second most common language and the most widely taught foreign language.
Some Americans advocate making English the country's official language, as it is in at least twenty-eight states.[146] Both Hawaiian and English are official languages in Hawaii by state law. does for English and While neither has an official language, New Mexico has laws providing for the use of both English and Spanish, as LouisianaFrench. Other states, such as California, mandate the publication of Spanish versions of certain government documents including court forms.[149] Several insular territories grant official recognition to their native languages, along with English: Samoan and Chamorro are recognized by Samoa and Guam, respectively; Carolinian and Chamorro are recognized by the Northern Mariana Islands; Spanish is an official language of Puerto Rico
