The USA is a constitutional federal republic composed of 50 states in a federal district, Washington DC. The majority of the nation is located in North America, with a total area of 9,529,063 km^2; it had many Pacific and Caribbean territories (only sentence I wasn't sure about).
The US has 300 million inhabitants. Minority ethnicities include representatives of every nation in the world, thanks to the important role of immigration in the economy and history of the nation, and the indigenous Americans. The most spoken language is English, in second place is Spanish which is very used (with more than 30 million speakers, 11%) as well as Asiatic and indigenous languages.

>Spanish is more closely related to French than Italian
It's not true though, OP's pic doesn't imply that at all. In fact, the French and Italian flags are closer to each other in the pic.
Nolan Nguyen
We have a lot of influences from German and old Celtic words as well. In fact, phonetically we're closer to German than to Spanish or Italian.
Camden James
OP's pic has Portuguese, Spanish, and French is the "Western" category and Italian in its own, separate one. Usually things in the same category are supposed to be more similar to each other than to anything outside that category
Noah Thompson
One of you means "Spanish is closer to French than Spanish is close to Italian" and the other one means "Spanish is closer to French than French is close to Italian".

Joseph Davis
Don't confuse a phylogenetic chart, such as the one in the OP, with an intelligibility chart.
From a strictly historical and linguistic point of view, French and Spanish can be said to be closely related than Spanish and Italian, but French underwent a MASSIVE chain of sound changes that made it quite different from the rest of Romance languages. As a result, it's really hard for the average Spanish speaker to understand spoken French whereas it's not so difficult to understand at least some Italian, even though our languages are more distantly related.
Nolan Butler

It's what the "and" referred to that I didn't understood. Now I see.
Brayden Morris
Two languages being phylologically related does not necessarily mean that they are closer to each other than languages to which they are more distantly related.
Low German is "technically" closer to English than to Standard German, but Low German is also a German dialect.
It's widely accepted that French and Italian are closer to each other than Spanish and Italian.
Ryder Sullivan
Sorry but I already gave the same learned explanation.
Robert Cooper
1. Italian 2. Literally everything, some words are different but I could easily figure out their meaning from the context
Aaron Hall
>It's widely accepted that French and Italian are closer to each other than Spanish and Italian.
This Murrican is right, this statement shouldn't be confused with the fact that an Italian and a Spaniard will understand each other better in an oral conversation than a French and an Italian, especially due to Spanish and Italian having similar phonologies.
Italian and French are grammatically more similar to each other. Example:
Io bisogno de (ita) Je besoin de (fr) Yo necesito (esp)
Yet I believe that educated French and Italian people would understand the Spanish verb "necesitar" since they have an archaic version of the same verb in their own languages as well. There is plenty of examples of this kind, it's also very common between Portuguese and Spanish.

i thought you meant you would try to say it out loud in vocaroo, or at least record what you thought it meant in vocaroo conta / cuenta = counts - amounts to
dunno how you didnt get that "representantes" = "representatives"

When you're getting married or going on a mission you go to the temple, do some funky ceremony, and get given your garments ("magic underwear").
They're supposed to protect you from Satan. Lots of anecdotes/faith-promoting-stories about this or that soldier in some odd war whose garments stopped a bullet, or some dude who stopped wearing garments and fell to the snares of the devil.
I'm no longer practicing, it should be said..
Jose Brooks
>Also there are Mexican Mormons m8. I don't know why but there are.
I don't really know much about these guys, but a lot of them immigrated back to my town when Pancho Villa was in charge of Mexico. Their descendants are called Pachecoites.
Pancho Villa is still villainized by this group.
