NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT 


The French language is the third most spoken language in the U.S. of A.!!
Check it out: The Report (PDF).
More fun stuff here.

(Link found via ni.vu.ni.connu.)

The statistics for Texas shows that French is merely the 6th language spoken in the Lone Star State. Should have moved to Maine – when I was still in Paris, the two places I was debating over were Portland, Maine, and Austin, Texas... I chose, for better or for worst, the latter. In Maine, French is the SECOND most spoken language in the State. And not only that, Maine has the highest percentage of French speakers in the United States.

Oh well, Texas will have to do for the time being. Austin is a good place to be, after all.

PS: 1,606,790 French speakers in the United States.
