[QUOTE="dzheremi, post: 74098256, member: 357536"] How many of these five (other than English) are other Scandinavian languages very closely related to Norwegian, though? :p Europeans and ex-pats freaking out about multilingualism is the cultural equivalent to Americans going to Europe and freaking out that they have buildings older than the United States. Also, according to the most recent report I could find, [URL='https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/life-bilingual/201809/the-amazing-rise-bilingualism-in-the-united-states']just over 20% of Americans[/URL] use a language other than English at home. The USA had a population of 323.4 million in 2016, when that data was collected. 20.14% of 323.4 million is 65,132,760. That by itself is larger than [B]the entire population[/B] of every country in Europe [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_population']excluding the top five[/URL] (#6, Italy, is just over 60 million). So it all depends on how you look at things. :) [/QUOTE]
