There are stories to the effect that German was considered, but as far as I am aware they are urban legends. For example, how many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence had any knowledge of German? Additional Answer: About one third of the US' todays population has German roots, but the great majority of German immigrants came to the US during the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. There may have already been a large number of German immigrants at that time, but by far less than English speaking people. As already said above, there is no certain proof or statement that German has ever been considered to be the national language of the US.

What if US had voted to use the German language?
It's actually a myth that the United States once was close to voting German as its official language; the United States does not now, nor has it ever, had an official language. English is used as the de facto official language, but there is in fact no legally official language in the United States. Several states have official languages. Louisiana has English and French; New Mexico has English and Spanish; Hawai'i has English and Hawai'ian; etc. If, theoretically, German or any other language were voted as the official language, in all likelihood there would be little change to how things are done already because English is so widely spoken.
