Why is Spanish language consider a foreign language in the USA?
The Spanish language was spoken in the lands that are now Florida, New Mexico, California about 100 years before the first English Settlement in Jamestown, Virginia. The Spanish language was spoken continiuosly in the USA for more than 500 hundred years. I would like someone to give me a valid reason to called Spanish foreign in the USA.
The USA does not have an oficial language. It is not in the Constitution or in any law by congress.
Also the first language of millions of Born Americans is Spanish.

We’re very loose with our languages. But its just a fact that the majority of Americans happen to speak English now.. no matter what our past was. Yeah we may have Spanish roots, but English is widely spoken everywhere.
As for me, I speak Spanglish =]
Saludos!
Because the national language is English.
English is the national language. Why is English a foreign language in Mexico?
Simple. It isn’t English.
Because it isn’t one of the native Indian languages or English.
This is probably because the official government records for the United States have virtually all been recorded only in English since the founding of the country. English seems by tradition to be the "unofficial" official language of the country.
