Gingrich is wrong...English should not be our official language..the USA is not England.
Lets make this easy for you. Do mexicans speak mexican or spanish?
Mexicans speak a dialect of Spanish but not all of them..some of them speak other languages. In fact, there are 68 languages of Mexico, but you clearly did not know that. So which language would it be that they speak? Some of them speak Nauhutl, Yucatec Maya, Mixtec, Zapotec, TZeltal Maya, Otomi, Totonac, Mazatec, Chotl*mayan*, and the list goes on and on including Qu' che..a mayan language common in Central America as well...but in just Nauhutl there are almost 2 million speakers and a lot of them don't speak Spanish...so when you ask what do they speak either Mexican or Spanish you would be clearly leaving out a good section of the population of Mexico that doesn't speak Spanish or even a dialect of Spanish, because NO Mexicans do not speak Castillian Spanish they speak Mexican Spanish and or a dialect of native americans. They also speak English, Chinese, Hebrew and the list goes on and on...do you really want to continue this or perhaps find out a little more about languages in Mexico before we go this route?
In Ruiz v. Hull, 957 P.2d 984 (Ariz. 1998), the Arizona Supreme Court struck down as un-Constitutional an amendment to that states constitution making English the official language:
1 This opinion addresses the constitutionality of Article XXVIII of the Arizona Constitution (the "Amendment"), which was adopted in 1988 and which provides, inter alia, that English is the official language of the State of Arizona and that the state and its political subdivisions--including all government officials and employees performing government business--must "act" only in English.
2 We hold that the Amendment violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution because it adversely impacts the constitutional rights of non-English-speaking persons with regard to their obtaining access to their government and limits the political speech of elected officials and public employees. We also hold that the Amendment violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution because it unduly burdens core First Amendment rights of a specific class without materially advancing a legitimate state interest.
A given jurisdiction may make English its official language, but must also provide forms and documents in other languages and have the ability to conduct official business in other languages, refusing to do so is un-Constitutional.
No! they really really are not.
If you really want English only, you better think about closing the border first
[ people like you make me believe in euthanasia, CHUMP!
Well does she seem educated? Her entire rant is being made in honduras and brought to you by google.
What does being in Honduras have to do with being educated or not?
Are you that thick? the thread is about ENGLISH in AMERICA!
No! they really really are not.
It is a matter of fact. Adding obstinance to ignorance doesn't change matters of fact. Maybe you don't know what loan words are, or maybe you have no understanding of the history of the English language. Either way, you are not getting any less wrong by repeating a dim-witted and ignorant denial.
Loan words huh? when are we due to return them?

According to my Argentine daughter in law, they speak Mexican.
She says the language Mexicans speak is to Spanish as the language Jamaicans speak is to English.
As far as being misinformed...look who's talking. .
I think that if you live in America, you should speak English. It is a completely fair expectation. It will better your future in America if you learn the English language.

Are you enjoying your ignorance? Getting all that 'bliss'?
It sure does. As a matter of fact, ask the google queen to tell you how many bean institutes require english in their classrooms.Mexicans speak a dialect of Spanish but not all of them..some of them speak other languages.

Spanish is the official language of Mexico.
Kind of deflates your whole rant, doesn't it?
