American language:
Because there is no official language with federal status, some states in the United States make English the official language, but English is the de facto official language, and there is no unified official language for the whole Federation.
due to the campaign to promote English as the official language for many years, 31 of the 51 States in the United States have passed legislation to make English the official language, and some other States have proposed relevant bills, but they are facing considerable resistance. Three states recognize other languages as parallel to English: French in Louisiana, Hawaiian in Hawaii and Spanish in New Mexico.
