Atlanta has a growing Korean population. Kia built a big factory in Georgia and Hyundai near the Georgia border in Alabama. SK is also building a $1.7 billion battery factory in Georgia. https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regi...sos4mSwwWdl3M/

But on a slightly un/related note, the numbers do illustrate that SD's extremely Filipino... even more so than the Bay Area.

However I do think the demographic trends in LA could change a lot in the future. LA might have a major S. Asian enclave in several decades.

Never realized how many Filipinos lived here until I moved.
They're not talked about as much, for some reason.


But some of these are very weird. Korean for Virgina? I guess, but what's the actual population for Koreans in the state?

Ohio has a large population of Amish, and most of them speak the German dialect of Pennsylvania Dutch at home. And the far western edge of the state is still highly isolated German-American communities and it's probably not anyone's first language but I'm sure there's still some sporadic usage of it.

Cleveland also has a reasonably-sized proportion of Germans who fled to the US after WWII ended and the Communists started to move in.

Ohio I can see. It's not a very ethnic state these days, but can see the Amish population keeping German (or a variety of it) still in use. But German speakers are third most in Colorado? Give me a break.

Also, Italian in NJ and PA is wrong. Theres no way. I'd bet money that in PA as well as NJ it's again, another asian language.

Colorado has very little immigration other than Spanish speaking, and it's the same with the other states. But I agree that German sounds farfetched.

I think it makes sense. Lots of elderly Germans in certain states, and manufacturing states have tons of short-term German expats. Germany was a big immigration source after WW2.

And plenty of Italian Americans in places like NJ have some rudimentary Italian language comprehension. Indians are split up in a billion languages. I think actually Yiddish might be in the running in the top few languages in NY and NJ.

New Jersey and Colorado seem correct according to 2010 numbers

But we are now almost 10 years later, so I'm sure Italian is not first anymore in NJ.

There were already thousands of Sikhs living in California over 100 years ago.

The first Indian American and Asian American in general to be elected to congress came from California's early Indian/South Asian community.

Dalip Singh Saund (September 20, 1899 – April 22, 1973) was an American politician who was a member of the United States House of Representatives. He served the 29th District of California from January 3, 1957 to January 3, 1963. He was the first Sikh American, the first Asian American, the first Indian American and the first member of a non-Abrahamic faith to be elected to Congress.

San Francisco in the 1910s to late 1940s even was the headquarters of an Indian revolutionary movement (albeit one that failed in its goals) that included Punjabi migrant workers and intellectuals and students in the US and abroad trying to fight for India's independence against what was then British colonial rule.

NorCal and SoCal alike have had South Asians long before any IT boom.

I haven't really seen numbers for Sikhs in the US. California I assume has the most.

Queens has a ton too - especially in Richmond Hills. Has to be at least 100k in Queens alone.

It's kinda refreshing that the Italian language is still third in NJ and PA. If only more Italians came to PA and replaced the Germans as the largest European group, PA might be a more fun place, almost like NY

I think the German language was kept on the downlow after WW2 in a lot of the US....I had no idea a lot of my family in south Texas spoke German and didn't believe it until I asked my grandmother.... after which she broke out in fluent German....she was in her 80's at the time and it was the first time I heard it.

Most of these states where German is the most common non-English/Spanish language have a very low percentage of foreign language speakers to begin with.

Now that you bring it up I wonder to what degree non-responses or under-reporting (or in some cases over reporting, for instance, saying you speak a language when you barely know a few words) knowledge of a language skews any of the results.

I'd imagine that survey data is less personal and people have less incentive to hide/mask what languages they do or don't know than say, in person (where someone might say that they know a language to show off, or not know it because they want to feel "assimilated" and think speaking that language is not something they're particularly proud of).

Is this because the ethnoreligious group of Sikhs is considered a religious grouping not an ethnic one by the US Census and thus is similar to the situation where it's difficult to count how many people identify as Jewish ethnically separately from Judaism as a religion?

It's hard to find up to date language data, but according to the 2010 census 104,000 spoke Panjabi at home in California - just under half of all Panjabi speakers in the US.
