Well, here in Ireland the second spoken language not the Irish but the
Polish... Even official documents and the automated postal machine offers to
choose Polish interface. Never understood why did not they learn English if
they came here, but it might be because of they work and live in a well
separated Polish community. Even at the workplace and at the shop they can
use their mother tongue, so why would they bother to learn any other
languages? As far as I understood something similar existing for long with
the Spanish and Chinese communities in the USA?
