    1. How could English be 3rd? That’s crazy. Especially when the majority of non native speakers also speak English.

      Edit: from your link.

      According to the 2021 census, English and French are the mother tongues of 56.6% and 20.2% of Canadians respectively.[4] According to the 2016 census, a total of 86.2% of Canadians could conduct a conversation in English, while 29.8% could conduct a conversation in French.

    2. Interesting. I am surprised Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) is the second most spoken language in Hawaii. I had assumed it would be Mandarin or Cantonese (two different languages in the Chinese language(s) family) or Japanese. I knew there are a lot of people of Chinese and/or Japanese ancestry in Hawaii, but I didn’t realize people of Filipino ancestry outnumbered them by such a large margin.
