Originally from Wales. I got taught Welsh in school and took it for GCSE but honestly forgot most of it. I'm barely capable of saying a few basic sentences and I understand words here and there. My wife however is fluent in Welsh and I believe Welsh as a language is starting to grow again (based on what my wife said).
Now living in Canada, main languages are English and French. Thankfully I don't live in Quebec that's heavily French (much like Mid/North Wales is heavily Welsh) as I do not know French other than basics I learnt (and for the most part now forgot lol) in school.
But ultimately, because Canada has so many immigrants (me being one of them
) there's a large number of languages spoken here which is awesome!

The United States of America does not have an official language; however, the most commonly used language is English, more specifically, the American English. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am an official interpreter/translator so I like alternating between the two. We also enjoy a phenomenon called "Spanglish", which allows the speaker to jump from English to Spanish and vice versa in the same sentence/conversation. It's very entertaining
!
The top three languages here in the USA are English with 254 million native speakers; Spanish with 43.2 million native speakers; and Chinese with 2.9 million native speakers. Out of these three, I manage to be well-versed in the top two so I think I am all right for now

^ This about sums it up.
Here in the USA, we encounter speakers of all languages. This is especially true in places like New York City.
Personally, I speak English as a native speaker, Greeklish
, Spanish (intermediate), and Russian (basic) proficiency.
