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.
