No state does. In fact, only about 30 of the 50 states actually have an official language [English] on the books. [1] New Mexico operates as a bilingual state, in English and Spanish. But neither has been given official language status. [2] The Louisiana purchase protected the French and Spanish cultural and linguistic rights of its inhabitants. And those rights are supposed to be so protected down to our days. [3] California originally gave Constitutional protection to the cultural and linguistic rights of its Spanish-speakers. But the rights weren't continued in the legislation of the 20th century.
