Far from being monolingual, the U.S. is a highly multilingual country. The number of languages spoken in the United States is 311. Of these, 162 are indigenous, and 149 are immigrant languages. An indigenous or autochthonous language is a language that is native to a region and spoken by indigenous peoples.
According to the Census Bureau, in 14 million U.S. households, people speak a language other than English. One in five individuals over age 5 speaks a language other than English. The large number of foreign language speakers in the United States is a result of recent immigration.
