Start it up!
Looking at America’s ancestry; we see that the country was founded on Protestant beliefs, fear of England, and the one thing that our founding fathers had in common: the English language. Now, clearly, since our country was based on the language, it goes without saying that our official language is English. However, as America grew older, it wasn’t merely the Protestants that inhabited the nation. Our country invited and harbored many new cultures (whether or not they received a warm reception will be left to the historians), and along with these new cultures came new languages. We told the outside world to give us their tired, their poor, their huddled masses yearning to breathe free. America has strived to attain a “melting pot” culture, mixing between nationalities that span the globe. With that; shouldn’t we encompass all of their languages to accommodate them? Definitely a great question of modern times
