Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Yes, linguistics can be fun and entertaining. In fact, this site might compel you to learn a new language. You can use the site's map to learn what languages are spoken across the U.S. -- from Gujarathi to Laotian to one of 37 other languages and language groups. Incredibly, the map allows you to zoom in to the county and even ZIP code level. If that's not enough, you can generate interactive maps to compare tongues spoken in different areas of the country. The maps, based on 2000 census data, offer an unparalleled analysis of the prevalence of languages in America. And if you want to know how many Texans talk Thai, the map's data center can supply the answer. We bet that after visiting this site, you'll never again say, "It's all Greek to me."
