The table provides data on the languages used by students at home in a US school district in

2008 and 2014.

Overall, Spanish was the most widely spoken language at home during both years, with a
significant increase in the number of students using languages other than English at home,
except for Korean, Vietnamese and Polish.

In 2008, the number of students speaking a non-English language at home ranged from 95
(Nepalese) to over 15,000 (Spanish), and no language reached even a fifth of the Spanish total.
After six years, the number of Spanish speakers increased significantly to nearly 29,000, which
was still the most widely spoken language in the survey. Nepalese, the least common language
spoken in 2008, rose dramatically to 439 speakers, overtaking Polish as the least commonly
spoken language in 2014.

Furthermore, the number of Chinese and Arabic speakers at home saw significant growth, with
Chinese speakers doubling and Arabic speakers tripling. Similarly, Tagalog and Russian
speakers numbers increased dramatically, quadrupling their numbers to 512 and 1,656 in 2014,
respectively. However, there was a significant decrease in the number of students who spoke
Korean and Vietnamese with 2735 and 1467 respectively in 2014.
