Abstract	The purpose of this essay is to provide a comparative perspective on a language minority group in a non-European state that might provide some insights to the development of language policies for a new and developing multicultural Europe. It begins with some historical background information that helps frame the current policies and cultural debates about Spanish, and to a lesser degree of other non-English languages, in California and the United states. Then the author describes more in detail the language demography of the nation, the school enrollments of minority and immigrant language speakers, and the official status of languages. A brief discussion regarding the language debates within the country completes the essay. (DIPF/orig.).
