Why isn't English America's offical language?

Question

So what? Other countries are made up of OTHER NATIONALITIES but they still have an official language.

Answer 1

Because the predominant language spoken in America is Swahili...

Answer 2

Why should it be? To be completely honest, a Native American language should be the official language since they were there first - you, like 99% of Americans are an immigrant or are descended from one. The French established colonies in America long before the English arrived, so technically any official language should be French. The same for Australia - their nation is made up of many nationalities but because they were a British colony, English is their de facto language. Even the UK doesn't have an official language and that's where English comes from!

Answer 3

because America is a mixture of many diffrent nationalities. there are americans, chnese, french, filipino, german etc.therefoe different language is spoken too. (English (only) 214.8 million, Spanish, incl. Creole 29.7 million, Chinese 2.2 million, French, incl. Creole 1.9 million, Tagalog 1.3 million, Vietnamese 1.1 million, German 1.1 million) Although english is the national language..
