It is considered that the first inhabitants on modern territory of the
United States of profit during several thousand years, once to 15 000 —
50 000 years ago, thanks to crossing of Bering to Alaska. The reliable
proof of stay of aboriginals of America in those places which after a steel

In territory of the country owing to its British colonial past the English language brought by
colonizers and early immigrants from British isles is dominating. By data for 2000 (general census in
the USA), English language is native for 82 % of the population of the USA, and 97 % owns it in
different degree. Nevertheless, the country has no official language at federal level though, because
of an accruing role of Spanish (for example, on television) and enough limited assimilation of
migrants from Asia and Latin America, many states declared English language official at local level.
Nevertheless, a number of languages (Spanish, French and Hawaiian) are recognized by official in a
number of states and territories. Also, a significant amount of immigrants (basically the XX-XXI-st
centuries) continue to keep languages and even to expand their influence in enclaves, ethnic
quarters, on television etc.
