Question: Do Cubans speak the language of the worms' first known location in America?

islanders speak both english and a creole language known as norfuk, a blend of 18th-century english and tahitian. the norfuk language is decreasing in popularity as more tourists travel to the island and more young people leave for work and study reasons; however, there are efforts to keep it alive via dictionaries and the renaming of some tourist attractions to their norfuk equivalents. in 2004 an act of the norfolk island assembly made it a co-official language of the island. the act is long-titled: "an act to recognise the norfolk island language (norf'k) as an official language of norfolk island." the "language known as 'norf'k'" is described as the language "that is spoken by descendants of the first free settlers of norfolk island who were descendants of the settlers of pitcairn island". the act recognises and protects use of the language but does not require it; in official use, it must be accompanied by an accurate translation into english. 32% of the total population reported speaking a language other than english in the 2011 census, and just under three-quarters of the ordinarily resident population could speak norfuk. <SEP> These worms were discovered in the late 1980s at the hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands and have since been found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps in all of the world's oceans. One of the most spectacular examples of obligate mutualism is between the siboglinid tube worms and symbiotic bacteria that live at hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. The worm has no digestive tract and is wholly reliant on its internal symbionts for nutrition. The bacteria oxidize either hydrogen sulfide or methane, which the host supplies to them. <SEP> The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The Galápagos Islands and their surrounding waters form the Galápagos Province of Ecuador, the Galápagos National Park, and the Galápagos Marine Reserve. The islands have a population of slightly over 25,000. <SEP> The deposition of Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship and the ascension of Fidel Castro's government in 1959 increased Cuban immigration to the United States, hence there are some one million Cubans in the United States, most settled in southern and central Florida, while other Cubans live in the Northeastern United States; most are fluent in Spanish. Immigration to the United States of Spanish-speaking Cubans began because of Cuba's political instability upon achieving independence. In the city of Miami today Spanish is the first language mostly due to Cuban immigration. <SEP> do you speak american? is a documentary film and accompanying book about journalist robert macneil's investigation into how different people throughout the united states of america speak. the book and documentary look at the evolution of america's way of speaking from the english language to various ways of speaking in regions throughout the country. divisions of ethnicity, geography and social status and how they affect how americans communicate are addressed. as part of the project, macneil traveled across the country conducting interviews with ordinary people as well as experts such as william labov.
