Demographics languages I started a new section here out of not wanting to disrupt the non related debate about another part of the demographics section Anyway is it me or does the following passage not make sense Over six million people in Canada list a non official language as their mother tongue 204 Some of the most common non official first languages include Chinese mainly Cantonese 1 012 065 first language speakers Italian 455 040 German 450 570 Punjabi 367 505 and Spanish 345 345 205 and the languages most spoken at home by 68 3 and 22 3 of the population respectively Surely the 68 3 speak an official first language as their native tongue do they The only other alternative I can think of is that that bit is meant to read languages most spoken at home by the of the population which does not speak an offficial language as their mother tongue That sounds cumbersome of course but if that is correct there needs to be some clarification there I asked on this page because as a non Canadian I honestly can not make sense of the wording If I knew what it was trying to say I d have changed it myself Thanks
