Official Language Context

English was designated the official language of the United States by an executive order signed on March 1, 2025.
This designation promotes national unity, streamlines government operations, and encourages civic engagement.
Although English is the official language, the US is multilingual with over 350 languages spoken nationwide.
Prior to this federal designation, 31 states and five US territories had already adopted English as their official language.
The executive order allows federal agencies flexibility in providing services in other languages but encourages the adoption of English as the common national language.
