- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

America has 300 different answers for "what language do you speak at home with family".
Three hundred.
You could have 6 different languages per state, with no overlap, just by shuffling people around.
Yeah and there are people that speak Basque in Spain. However, you won't find many that are not Basque speaking that language. The Basque speakers all mostly speak Spanish.
Same thing in the US. Sure there are people that speak 300 languages, but the majority speak English. They are also spread out.
Only major exception would be Spanish
And even in the US there are a pretty good amount of native English speakers who have learned Spanish for this reason.
True, but that's out of a nation of 350 million people.
I mean, I understand the spirit, but that's bit too close to ethnic cleansing.
