Would you call Lakota a foreign language in the US?


In the context of modern-day America, and this conversation, of
course.


Then in what country is Lakota a native language?
(You'd think a proponent of the English language would at least use it
properly!)

Really, I don't care WHAT language is mandated. Hell, let's use
Sioux, if you want.

But one must be decided upon and adhered to, officially, or America is
doomed to become Yugoslavia.


If the U.S. government makes more than one language "official" then the
U.S. is more likely "doomed" to become like Switzerland or Canada. (Hint:
What are the official languages of Switzerland and Canada?)
