Did the founding fathers believe English should be the national language?

The Founding Fathers all spoke English so it's reasonable to think that they assumed this would be the dominant language. Otherwise, they'd all have had to learn another language.

Why is that the Japanese language is not an official language in US?
there is no official language in the US because people from all over the world cam here at different times. for example the holocaust or a war in another country.hope this helps-fishwispererUntil recently, it was considered to be so obvious that the language of the United States is English that it was unnecessary to formally enshrine English as the official language. Recently there has been such a large amount of Hispanic immigration as to suggest that Spanish is now a serious rival to English as a possible national language. But now, if English were to be legally adopted as the official language, that would raise the suspicion that this move was motivated by a dislike of Hispanic immigrants. So, there seems to be little political advantage for such a move.

Which came first German or English?
As far as I know, all pureblood white people are either from the Romance culture of Europe or some part of the Germanic, with English being one of the Germanic tribes, or maybe some combination of the two, though they would no longer be pureblood anything.If you think about it, our language is much more rough and much more gutteral than that of the Asian or Oriental languages or even the Romance languages such as French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Portuguese.German is our founding language, as English came from them, though due to our melting pot of a nation and America's multiculuralism, we are less gutteral than Germans, though American is much more rough sounding than our crumpet eating neighbors across the Atlantic.I believe that the true English people of the UK are or at least were as refined as they are or were because of their appreciation of the arts and of their acceptance of the finer things in life, which was certainly the case with Shakespeare.German came before English; English started as a variation of German this language was called Anglo-Saxon or Old English. After the Norman Invasion however the language became more Romance.AnswerThe previous answer is completely wrong and utterly racist. Both English and German evolved around the same time, from 2 common ancestral languages called Anglo-Frisian and Old Saxon.

Is English the official language of US?
Yes it is. Wrong. No it certainly is not. While English may be the defacto language of the United States, there is no officially recognized language on the federal level. However, 28 states have passed laws or mandates making English the official language in their states. Actually, English is the official language of 31 states as of today, and three more are greatly considering it (Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas I believe, and I am sure there are more). It has official status in the country, but not at a national level.
