Definition

  • Some voices in the United States today regard Spanish as a threat to the continued dominance of English and argue that an increase in Latino immigration and natality may lead to a bilingual society and to drastic changes in American culture. In general, these voices argue that Hispanics or Latinos have little interest in learning English. [Source: Encyclopedia of Bilingual Education; Spanish, Decline in Use]
