ИСТИНА

The thing is that since the beginning of XXI century there was a mass immigration of Hispanics in the United States which led to that the South - Western part of the country was flooded with Mexicans and, at the same time, in Florida and the North - Eastern part of USA the number of Cubans and Puerto Ricans greatly increased. So, the huge influx of immigrants from Latin America combined with a high birth rate among them is one of the main reasons why the Spanish language has gained such a great importance within the United States. It should be mentioned that nowadays Hispanic immigrants declare their intention to use only Spanish in everyday life and, as a result, today in the majority of parts within the USA, where the population of the Spanish-speaking people is up to 90%, today one can hear Spanish spoken everywhere, see many advertisements in Spanish and so on. By the way, the situation connected with the status of Spanish within Spain runs counter to the world tendency of spreading Spanish. How is this to be explained? The problem is that a new pluralist structure of Spain and practically unlimited autonomy of the regions combined together led to a destructive policy towards Spanish language and, as a consequence, now Spaniards protest against the fact that in the ethnic regions of the country regional administrations abolish the right to teach the children in the state language that means in Spanish in a favor of regional languages because nowadays there are three regional languages (Catalan (catala), Galician (galego) and Basque (euskera)) recognized as state languages as well as Spanish nationwide.
