Abstract

Each year, states report the five most common languages spoken by English learners (ELs), along with the number of ELs who speak each language. This fact sheet summarizes the most commonly spoken languages in School Year (SY) 2022–23. Fifty-four languages or language categories appeared in at least one state’s “top five” list. Counts reflect only ELs in states where the language was among the top five and do not represent all ELs nationwide who speak that language.
