Top Spoken Languages in Manitoba

Maybe it’s just me, but when you think of the second most spoken language in Manitoba and Canada in general, do you not think French? Well, if you also thought that, you and I are very wrong because French is actually FOURTH after English!

In 2016, 7.6 million people reported speaking a language other than English or French at home, which is an increase of 1 million people compared to 2011.
