The United States has always been home to large waves of immigration, and the government has systems in place to help those who arrived.
United States immigration officials provide interpreters in hundreds of languages, such as Chinese,
Haitian Creole, Arabic and especially, Spanish
. With that said, indigenous Mayan languages, such as
Mam, K’iche’ (Qhiché
) and Q’anjob’al (Kanjobal) — which hail from
Guatemala — are now in the top 25 most commonly spoken languages in the US immigration courts.
