Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of demographic information related to language diversity and shift among heritage and community language speakers in the United States. It references important national surveys of foreign language instruction and enrollment in primary and secondary school and reviews United States Census American Community Survey data related to language diversity in American families. The chapter notes the importance of drawing on family and community linguistic resources that exist within the population and the need to connect heritage and community languages with the effort to promote language instruction more broadly in U.S. schools.
