New York (TADIAS) — Using data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, Slate magazine staff writer Ben Blatt, made maps of languages other than English that were spoken in the United States. His map of the most commonly spoken African language shows that Amharic tops the list in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Washington, Virginia and West Virginia. The most commonly spoken African languages in the U.S. are Kru, Yoruba, and Ibo.
