Fastest Growing Foreign Language in the US is an Indian Language You Might not Expect

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Jeff

The fastest growing Foreign Language in the US as of 2018, according to this study by the Center for Immigration, is Telegu.  I was surprised, thinking it would be Chinese or Tagalog, but numbers of speakers does not equate with the percentage increase in speakers.  The top 3 languages for growth on the list are all languages from India.  I know a fair number of Telegu speakers at work.  Not sure how long this will continue, given the recently announced visa restrictions.
