    It is interesting to go to Miami and hear mostly Spanish. But then here in California, I go to SoCal where there are way more Hispanics than in South Florida and you can get by with English just as easy as if you were in New England. Heck, right on the border in San Ysidro and in Tijuana I hear just as much English as Spanish among Hispanics....and many speak English better than most non-Hispanics. "Hispanic" is definitely a generic term that means little when comparing those in California and Texas (mostly Mexican and northern Central American) to those in Florida.

      The Hispanic population in south Florida is totally different to the Hispanic population in Texas, New Mexico and California and even New York. South Florida Hispanics are mainly Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans… the community is huge and prospering. Spanish is dominant and we are unmistakable politically and socially CONSERVATIVE. Even though spanish is the main language, the Hispanics down here are very pro American values. Anti communist, anti socialist, pro free market economy. That’s the reason why during the 2020 riots, antifa and BLM didn’t get any traction in south Florida as they thought they would And they had to leave somewhere else totally disappointed that the huge Hispanic population of south Florida didn’t supported them, instead, figthed them off. The community is also very politically active towards conservatism. Down here is Trump country, Marco Rubio country, Desantis country, Jimenez country , Salazar country and any and all conservative figure out there…… the Spanish is dominant yes, but the American values are a priority to this community. West coast and new York Hispanics are wayyyyy different than south Florida Hispanics…... is like if we were talking about two complete different ethnic groups. …… in fact, the two groups don’t mix very well…. Lol.

    Our foster child liked to speak Spanish with us, and when we was in some restaurants the staff and the guests heard us speaking in Swedish, English and Spanish.
    A waitress asked me how many languages we speak and I told her: Swedish, Spanish, English, German and French.

    Hialeah, una población vecina a Miami, es la ciudad más hispana y en la que más español se habla en todo Estados Unidos, de acuerdo con un estudio realizado por WalletHub, una compañía de medios de pago electrónicos. Para este estudio sobre la diversidad cultural de Estados Unidos se tuvieron en cuenta 501 ciudades de diverso tamaño y se usaron tres indicadores claves para determinar si son diversas o no: origen étnico y racial de sus habitantes, idioma y lugar de nacimiento.
    Hialeah, que, según proyecciones del censo, tenía más de 239.673 habitantes en 2017, predominantemente de origen cubano, hasta el punto de que la suelen calificar como la “segunda ciudad más poblada” de Cuba, está en el puesto 498 de la lista en cuanto a diversidad cultural.
    Solo otras tres ciudades son menos diversas, pero Hialeah, enclavada en el condado de Miami-Dade, es la número uno en todo el país en porcentaje de habitantes hispanos (95,64 %).
    También es donde un mayor porcentaje de vecinos habla español (92,25 %), lo que la hace una de las menos diversas de EE.UU. desde el punto de vista lingüístico.

Dicen que en el año 2.050 uno de cada tres estadounidense será hispanounidense. Dado que estos no se reparten geográficamente por igual, será perfectamente posible, mucho antes de esa fecha, ver Estados enteros donde el castellano volverá a ser el primer idioma. Eso sucederá sobretodo en el sur y el oeste pero también en muchos núcleos urbanos del norte y el este. Saludos desde Castilla (España).

    I've visited Miami twice and both times it was a surprise to me ,save at the Airport or next to Miami Beach Area, to converse with people who in spite of being in the States for yonks own a sort of limited English ,perhaps just as Jon indirectly indicates in this video the amount of latino immigrants is the reason of such linguistic phenomenon which does not happen in other Florida areas .In Fort Lauderdale , Pensacola or Orlando where many attractions are just around the corner ,there are ten of thousands of latinos as well ,but they do their best to get familiar with the English language....Perhaps if they don't learn it ,it 'd be hard for them to invite their children to Epcot Center ,The Magic Kingdom ,etc...as there ,they have to communicate in the original language of Uncle Scrooge to avoid being lost in a world where the instructions are scarcely delivered in Spanish....

  • @SuperRip7
    @SuperRip7 3 года назад +1

    This is a long one so pay attention.
    Miami is a great place if you just want to party. If you want to live in Miami then you need to think twice. Don't get the idea that just because English is taught at school that it becomes a bulwark against Latin American culture and Spanish. The people who become proficient in English and Spanish will become the city's civil service and elected office. The majority of English being spoken by Hispanics is at the school, and that is it. Other than that, you only hear Spanish in public; not just immigrants but also extending to the grandchildren of them living with American-born parents. Part of the reason why is that schools do not openly encourage to speak English all the time. So, if you ask do Hispanics speak English well. The answer is sometimes they are proficient sometimes less than that-let's put it that way. The reason- the culture of Miami frowns upon anything that is Anglo American. For those that do, they will most likely join the civil service like police and fire department. In these places you must speak English and Spanish, otherwise they are not letting you in. However, for the 850-pound gorilla in the room known as the private sector to which most Miamians work. Almost everything is done in Spanish -whether it is Spanish-speaking colleague or Spanish-speaking co-employees. There is no point in English when you are in adult in the private sector workplace. As for the rest of the non-Spanish speaking neighborhoods, there is not one of them that is prosperous. They are all destitute and filled with rejected people because they do not speak Spanish. Be it Liberty City, Overtown, you name it. Be a wise person and don't let the word "bilingual city" fool you. These are deceivers who don't have the guts to tell you Spanish is a prerequisite to prosper in Miami. They don't tell you that ESL has no bearing in determining that English is a preferred language; which it not.
    So, tell what you think. I will be obliged to answer.

    Not really. I mean, yes there are people who speak only English and other languages but they are destitute and have no opportunity in Miami. Despite being billed as a "bilingual" city, the Hispanic people knows it's a total crock. Nothing gets done in Miami until that person speaks Spanish. English and Haitian Creole will not suffice. It is called the "capital of Latin America" for a reason because Spanish is the dominant and prestige language in the city. Children may learn English in school, but when they finally grow up it is Spanish that provides all the means to prosper in Miami Dade. Anyone who lives there will say Spanish is the de facto language of business from small mom and pop shops to the office building known as City National Bank of Florida. When it comes to culture Calle Ocho does not need an introduction. So, you see people, you don’t really need English in Florida. It makes sense if anyone wants to be relevant here in the city. So, long story short, Spanish is the answer

    So Spaniards owned and managed the Peninsula.
    Until the USA Government treated the Spaniards with American soldiers to push to give Up the territory to Sale to USA which finally was purchased for USD $ 2.000.000 concided in 1821 as part of the treaty
    On regard the Spanish Language it was stablish for the Spaniards at the San Augustin city in Florida stablish on the 8th of September 1565 for Spain.

It's seems you didn't miss la marraqueta, algo parecido pasa pero en menor proporción (aunque ahora es más) en Paris, puesto que cuando a comprar pan, una de las vendedoras es colombiana y conversamos un poco mientras los otros tratan de disimular su sorpresa( ciertamente sé que al franchute le gusta el castellano) well.... Good little holidays and you look like no pain in yours teeth, chauu

    Let me say this to make it all clear. If you are an American and English is your only language ...
    If you don't know Spanish, and you want to live in Miami, there is one undeniable fact ...
    If you do not know Spanish, you are a "sucker." There is no other way to describe it. I am not using foul language here. Ever since the Cubans arrived in Miami 60 years ago, English has seen a tremendous and irreversible decline. They build up the city to be the "capital" of Latin America. It worked; the city became very prosperous. What was the expense? a new social order that works against English speakers, many of them monolingual.
    To get the basic information out of away go read this. In Miami, Spanish is the dominant language. From business, to conventions, or even the most benign meeting engagements, Spanish is the language. It is not English or Creole; just Spanish. The culture is distinctively Latin; not surprisingly the main language is Spanish. American culture is almost non-existent. It is just simply a colossal of twenty-Spanish speaking countries all found in Calle Ocho. The Miamians don't take kind to anything or anyone American. Their egos will not allow it.
    In Miami, English is irrelevant even if it is an American city. I know English is taught in school, but do not think for a second that it will dampen or hurt Spanish, or act as a bulwark to Spanish's influence. These so-called bilingual programs are just cultural maintenance programs turned on its head to serve Spanish speakers. The Hispanics have consistently found ways to appease the education bosses from Tallahassee and not let ESL be too much of a cultural and personal hinderance in a child's personal life. If I told how the programs "benefitted" these students, it would be too long and tedious to explain. So, I will give you the short and manageable answer here. The programs work only if the child thinks how useful of beneficial English is. In other words, it is the child's choice to go along in his or her pace. There would be no great encouragement or well-rounded reason to be proficient since English is seen as a "gringo's language" in Latinos eyes. So, what does this lead to? Some students are going to be very proficient because they believed it has special significance later in life. While the rest (or a majority) will go with these programs at a leisurely rate, have; teachers that give too many exceptions to the rule thus "kicking the can" for years and years to come until they are just told to "leave." Does that mean the students made progress in English? Yes, they can be conversational and can now write. Nonetheless, it is quite cringing and unnatural. To them, English is a language they became familiar but can never reach a level on par with their native language. The students who become proficient would become members of the city's civil service or elected officials. The others just join the Spanish-language workers and environment just like recently arrived immigrants when mandatory schooling is over. Does this sound like a dice game to you? So, there is no surprise there are grandchildren who are in these programs. I also (hopefully people from Miami reading this) do not believe it is a language they speak "often." That is a preposterous statement meant to injure. I do not know any young Miami student who finishes the school day and suddenly wants to communicate in English. I want to know is for what. Yes, there are students who learned the language proficiently, but the teachers are just there so one can learn. There is nothing in their profession that says they have to be a language chaperon. I believe any student can speak their own language that he or she wants in his or her free time, but in practice that language is still Spanish. This idea of "Spanish at home, English everywhere else" myth needs to be buried. The other idea of "three-generations fate" needs to share the same grave. This is a correct theory from another era. The Cubans who moved to Miami to escape Castro's communism, set in motion to establish the first American city in which Spanish was the prestige language and English sidelined; (or as close to it as humanely possible). They have succeeded and pushed the Anglos out. Does the phrase "Will the last American to leave Miami, please bring the flag" resonate with anyone ?
    Now it is time to ask why not learning Spanish makes one a sucker. Folks, the Spanish language is on solid ground. There are absolutely no Hispanics (I chose that word) in Miami Metropolitan Area whose native language is English. It does not matter if they are immigrants or the grandchildren of them who have now come of age. Needless to say, the same applies to those people of whatever ordinal generation who spoke no other language at home other than Spanish. English for now is perched on shaky foundation. Moreover, it is best to say, there is no possible situation that would alter the outcome the status of Spanish than what has happened sixty years prior. If one does not know Spanish and learn it soon, then there is absolutely no good reason to be there. A good job offer says you have to speak Spanish as a requirement for employment. If one wants to establish friendships with Hispanics, you have to learn the language. They are quite reserve when speaking English, whether they are proficient or not. If one has to eat or buy anything, Spanish is the appropriate language available, if one does not like hand gesturing.
    One must understand, living in Miami is not like visiting a hotel or entering a retirement village. I am talking about meeting with Hispanic people 24/7. For those English speakers who want to live in prosperous Miami, please do not be deceive of thinking it as a "bilingual city" just because you looked and heard signs and announcements in Spanish and English. It is just a ploy to change your opinion. Miami Metropolitan Area is a top-down "Spanish-speaking destination" at odds with monolingual English speakers. If you don't believe me, visit Liberty City. To put it bluntly, a person who does not know Spanish is a sucker because he would only know despair, destitution, misery, and rejection. That is what he deserves because that is what he earned.
    So, what is the point of this commentary? Miami is not a bastion where an "English-speaking environment" can thrive. It is always being marginalized by Spanish and places a strong de-emphasization on American culture. The Miami ruling class, which is mostly Cuban, has played the game well and has nothing to fear. For writing this commentary, I have nothing to fear because I stand by every word. Thus, the fear of criticism does not phase me the least. So here it is in living color. I look forward to anyone's response.
