Definitely San Antonio=Spanish. Strange thing is that I was at the mall a couple of days ago and didn't hear one person speak Spanish (I usually do). Instead I heard some Asian language.

Nope.

European languages make up 663,400 (by number who speak them) in Chicago.

Chicago's Hispanic population is: 1,917,045

Spanish is the 2nd largest spoken language in Chicagoland, Southland (Los Angeles), Greater Houston, DFW Metroplex, Miami, San Antonio, & Austin. Among other places too- lol I just don't want to list them all.

I am going to say that it is going be spanish for the greater majority of big cities in the US.

about 50% of the legal immigrants coming into the country are from Mexico, so no other country/language comes close.

The French Territories have a history of French creole, but the language didn't get ingrained as much as the spanish did.

I know you love Texas, did you know that the French once ruled over Texas?

Why in the world did you writ "Phillpine language with English" as Tagalog? Tagalog is Tagalog. No English in it.
