> Even inside the US, Spanish is growing faster than ever. But is it getting established or just temporarily flaring up due to immigration? All of the 2nd generation Spanish-speaking immigrants I know use English primarily. American English is the lingua franca and the language of education (especially advanced education) and the economically successful. Unless those things change, I don't see Spanish as getting any more established than other immigrant languages that have now died out in the US.
