Description: The MLA Language Map is for students, teachers, and anyone interested in learning about the linguistic and cultural composition of the United States. Aggregated data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) is used to display the locations and numbers of speakers of twelve languages commonly spoken in the United States. Data from the MLA's 2021 census of enrollments in languages other than English indicate where these languages are taught in colleges and universities. Information about over three hundred languages spoken in the United States is included, based on data from the 2006-10 ACS, ACS 2005, and the 2000 US Census. Comparative tables and graphs demonstrate changes between 2000 and 2010 in American language communities, showing speakers' ages and ability to speak English.
