The United States has no official language.
Which makes the anti-Spanish speaking sentiment held by many seem especially xenophobic.

16. So do they publish the laws in Spanish too? |
|
That seems a reasonable test for whether it's an official language.

Newspeak, doublethink, the mutability of the past. He felt as though he were wandering in the forests of the sea bottom, lost in a monstrous world where he himself was the monster. He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable. What certainty had he that a single human creature now living was on his side? And what way of knowing that the dominion of the Party would not endure for ever? Like an answer, the three slogans on the white face of the Ministry of Truth came back to him:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

and we do not need one. Official languages do nothing to unite people unlike what neocons say.
