Demographics languages   I started a new section here out of not wanting to disrupt the nonrelated 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 nonofficial language as their mother tongue Some of the most common nonofficial first languages include Chinese mainly Cantonese  firstlanguage speakers Italian  German  Punjabi  and Spanish  and the languages most spoken at home by  and  of the population respectively  Surely the  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 theof 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 nonCanadian I honestly cannot make sense of the wording If I knew what it was trying to say Id have changed it myself  Thanks
