Languages spoken at home by state Share of residents aged 5 and over who speak each language (or language group) at home, as published in the Census Bureau's collapsed language table: Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Arabic, French (with Haitian and Cajun), Korean, Russian/Polish/other Slavic, and German/West Germanic languages, with the share who speak only English. People who speak another language at home may also speak English well. From the American Community Survey 2025 1-year estimates (household population; survey estimates with margins of error, larger in small states). Percentages are derived by Quadranac from the published counts. The Census Bureau did not publish this detailed table for some smaller states in the 2025 1-year release (its data-quality filtering), so they are blank. Grouped shares of other Indo-European, Asian and Pacific Island languages are in the language and foreign-born table.
