Given that the US doest not have an official language, this rings a weird bell. Had the been England or any other country with an official language, it would have been something.

In particular with the history of California and the proximity to Mexico, the opposite (that more than 50% speaks english) should be the story.

The federal govt does not have an official language but individual states may state one.
