A language is designated as an official language by a government through legislation or constitutional provisions. This status typically grants the language legal recognition and allows its use in official government functions, education, and communication. Having an official language can promote unity, facilitate governance, and protect linguistic rights.

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.

It has official status in the country, but not at a national level.
