How many citizens can only read/write Spanish?
Citizens.
Trick question! :-)


the citizenship test doesn't require being able to speak english. you
can take it in your own language if you pay/provide a translator.

just like in court, they will get a translator if a witness or
defendant doesn't speak english.

(all this i know from being surrounded by Russians who just recently
came here and don't speak enough english to be useful)


Besides which, there is no language requirement to be born in this country,
eh? Most Spanish speaking citizens were born here. A lot of their ancestors
were here before Plymouth Rock. That is why I think referring to them and
their language as 'foreign' seems so strange.
