Replies Taurian Posted at 6:55 pm on Jan. 7, 2009 ^^ Good answer. theboxman Posted at 11:53 am on Jan. 7, 2009 Although people speak different language in the united states - English is our offical language because all business transactions (such as contracts) must be conducted in english and the federal goverment conducts all business in English, thus making it the offical language of the United States. Now it does not mean a contract can not be in both english and spanish but in a court of law the english interpretaton of the language will be used to determine the meaning of the contract.

And because we have so many different nationalities this. why would we have an official language, when our country is brought together by different races. not everyone is going to speak the "official language", if we had one.
