Should we make Hebrew or Yiddish a National language?

Akim K asked:


There are around 6 million Jewish people, who practice their religion, in the United States. There are more than 10 million Jewish people, who don’t practice but consider themselves as Jewish. By the year of 2015 Jewish people will be the biggest minority group in the United States. And, considering very good relationships between Israel and the United States, we could propagate our language and culture further.

    I thought Hispanics would be the largest minority. no, English is the only national language we need. learn about and practice Jewish culture if you are Jewish, but don’t expect non-Jews to follow suit.

    A national language of what? The U.S.already has a national language in a practical sense– English. Hebrew is the national language of Israel. Yiddish is one of those languages that would probably disappear, if it weren’t kept alive by Jews who are ultra-orthodox and Hasidic.

    Btw, where did you get your data about Jews being the biggest minority group in the US by 2015? How about Blacks, Hispanics, East Asians? You should check your sources.
