El español es el idioma principal para los demócratas

Democrats vs Republicans: Which party is most bilingual

 

  • Democrats are most bilingual, with nine out of the 10 top states interested in learning a language.
  • Ten Republican states rank in the bottom ten least interested states, from Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.
  • Hawaii, Vermont and Alaska are the top three Democratic states most interested in being bilingual.  

 

A new study by Class Central analyzes the language interests of Democratic and Republican states. 

 

Using Google Keyword Planner, online learning experts at Class Central analyzed a total of 166 unique languages alongside 2,316 unique keyword combinations across all 50 U.S states. 

  

Languages used in the study include Arabic, Thai, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Chinese, French, Portuguese and Hawaiian.  

  

Searches for each of the languages were combined with fifteen search term variations such as [language] class, [language] tutor, [language] online, Duolingo [language], [language] dictionary, how to speak [language], and how long does it take to learn [language].  

   

The number of searches over the past 12 months for each term was then added to give a total for each state. This was then compared to the population to calculate the number of searches per 100,000 people.   

  

The study also analyzes 270towin.com to reveal how each state voted in the 2020 Election Result.

Dhawal Shah, CEO and Founder of Class Central says,  

  

"Speaking another language can open doors to jobs in international business, deepen understanding of other cultures, and help you foster better communication with neighbors, colleagues, or friends who may not speak your country's native language.  

  

 

Spanish is one of the most taught foreign languages in U.S. schools, making it accessible to non-native speakers. Being able to communicate in Spanish is particularly useful in states with large Spanish-speaking populations, such as California, Texas, Florida, and New York.  

  

"The majority of the states in the top ten states across the US are predominately Democratic. The 2020 election saw a push for inclusive messaging, especially targeting diverse voter demographics  

  

"Political campaigns, including Kamala Harris who has made considerable efforts to engage with and encourage the Latino community throughout her political career."
