[Deborah-W]

I do not believe Spanish is ‘taking over’ the United States. More immigrants from Latin America are moving to the United States, so you are probably becoming more aware of the language and the people who speak it. As it turns out, Spanish has been spoken in the United States and the rest of the Americas for far longer than English has. The United States’ earliest European settlers were Spanish speakers. Twenty years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Spanish-speaking pilgrims had already settled Santa Fe and other areas of the U.S. Southwest. (And their descendants still live in the region today!) Why do you think so many cities, states, mountain ranges, rivers and other geographical features have Spanish names in the United States?
