The President of the United States Donald Trump signed a decree that gives English the status of an official language in the United States.
The corresponding message is published on the web site of the White House.
The decree states that this decision is intended to promote “promotion of unity, training in general American culture for all citizens, ensure a sequence in public operations and create a way for civil participation.”
It is expected that the creation of English as an official language “not only organizes communication, but also strengthen common national values and create a more united and effective society.”
Prior to this, in the United States, the official language at the legislative level was never in the country, although the first 13 colonies that became the basis of the future country were mainly in English, and all the most important documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, were written in English.
The official status of English was appointed English only in equal parts of the state – according to Jronglish Group, which advocates the official status of English, according to 32 out of 50 states.
Since the founding of our republic, English has been used as a state language, says Trump’s text. – That’s why the time has come to declare English in the official language of the United States.
This decree cancels previous rules that oblige federal structures to help people with insufficient English. At the same time, agencies are allowed to voluntarily continue to provide services in other languages.
The state language is the basis of one and a close -knit society, and the United States is strengthened by citizens who can freely exchange views on one common language, the decree says.
