Abstract: Although heritage language (HL) speakers have received scholarly attention in recent years as an interdisciplinary research theme among language educators, linguists, and policy makers, we know very little about their demographic makeup and trends of their demographic change. In this study, I have analyzed regional and chronological changes of HL speakers between 1980 and 2010, using U.S. census data. The results show sharp differences in HL speakers' demographics by language and region
