ccording to 2015-2019 American Community Survey data, nearly 22,000 New Yorkers are Canadian-born, living primarily in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with a smaller number in Queens. The number of Canadians in New York has increased in recent years, with most speaking some form of Canadian English, but there have also been and continue to be other substantial distinct linguistic communities from Canada, including speakers of Québécois French, other varieties of English (such as those from Newfoundland), and First Nations languages such as Mohawk and Cree, not to mention immigrant and diaspora communities from around the world where there are closer ties across the U.S. border.

Note that the language above may be used throughout the New York area — this is just one significant site.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!

By continuing I acknowledge that I have read and accept the above information.
