The USA does not have an official language either although there have been repeated attempts to make English such. In my locale, English and Spanish are predominant although there are some Asian languages as well. Many of the public schools have a bi-lingual approach using both English and Spanish.

But the one that bemuses me the most is the Braile on drive-through ATMs. ?!
