The Future of Spanish in the United States
Spanish is the fastest-growing language in the U.S., with the number of speakers up 233% since
1980, when there were 11 million Spanish speakers. As Spanish use has grown, driven primarily
by Hispanic immigration and population growth, it has become a part of many aspects of life in
the U.S. For example, Spanish is spoken by more non-Hispanics in U.S. homes than any other non
-English language and Spanish language television networks frequently beat their English coun-
terparts in television ratings. the number of Spanish speakers is projected to rise through 2020
to anywhere between 39 million and 43 million, depending on the assumption one makes about
immigration.
