It\u2019s over 11%, and it\u2019s these languages are the most common in 17 states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tagalog, an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines, is popular only in Nevada. However, as many as 1.76 million people use it daily. It makes it the second most commonly spoken language in the U.S., when we don\u2019t count English and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next places are taken by Vietnamese (1.57 million) and Arabic (1.26 million).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to European languages, the German is spoken in four states, but fewer people speak it daily compared to French. The latter language is also spoken in four states (Louisiana, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire), with 1.17 speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click or tap the infographic to see it enlarged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized alignwide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ebookfriendly.com\/most-popular-languages-in-usa-besides-english-spanish-infographic\/most-popular-languages-in-the-usa-full-infographic\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=1200%2C1801&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Most popular languages in the USA - full infographic\" class=\"wp-image-153793\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=220%2C330&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=540%2C810&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=1023%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=107%2C160&amp;ssl=1 107w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebookfriendly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Most-popular-languages-in-the-USA-full-infographic.jpeg?resize=840%2C1261&amp;ssl=1 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualcapitalist.com\/most-common-language-spoken-in-the-u-s-map\/\">The Visual Capitalist blog<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in infographics about reading and languages?
