There is also an abundance of people who don't speak English, or prefer not to, right here in North America. The Canadian province of Quebec, for instance, legally mandates bilingual signage and generally prefers French. And Mexico is right there too.

There are also a great many families in the US whose first-generation members have limited English.

There are also many of us who have family in the US since the 1860's and still speak (Alemannic) German at home and in the surrounding community.

This also goes notwithstanding the indigenous peoples, whose Diné bizaad and Tsalagi, for example, are also spoken here.
