While English is the predominate language of the United States, the country has never adopted an official language. It also does not have a secondary official language.
Although English is the traditional language (in linguistic terms English is the language de facto of the United States), the U.S. currently has no "official" language. English has been given official status by 30 of the fifty states, however, but this does not apply on the Federal level, only within those individual state's jurisdictions. Also, the definition of "official language" {and the policies or laws adhered to that; such as voting rights, official state documentation, authenticated signatures etc.} varies state to state by how they define that term (or not) within their amendment(s) to their individual state constitutions.
This list is of the states that have English as their official language as of 2010: California, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Hawaii.
(Note: The remaining 20 states do not [as of 2010] have an official language)
