Official languages

From "Interesting Facts" "Most countries have an official language by law, but not the U.S. While 90% of Americans speak English, an estimated 350 languages are spoken within U.S. borders. There have been federal attempts to make English official, but none of them have stuck." This surprised me and also that there are 350 languages spoken in the US. Then I went to Wiki which was pretty interesting. I thought the illustration did an excellent job of getting this information across. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_States
I was hoping to get a similar chart for Canada but there wasn't one; however, there was a really great article worth looking at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Canada
