Yep, and here is a breakdown: Languages of the United States Official language(s) None Main language(s) American English (82%), Spanish (10%) Indigenous language(s) Navajo, Dakota, Central Alaskan Yup'ik, Cherokee, Western Apache, Piman, Choctaw, Keres, Zuni, Ojibwe Main immigrant language(s) Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Italian Main foreign language(s) Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese.[1] Sign language(s) American Sign Language
