    Spent a lot of time in Utah in my life and I'm shocked that it is China.

    I would've guessed Samoa, Tonga, any of the Central American countries, most of the South American countries, and a few others before I would've guessed China.

    Other than that, seems about right (Bhutan, who knew?)

    Samoa is America, so that wouldn't be immigration from a foreign country.

    American Samoa is a territory, Samoa is not.

    His mama named him Western Samoa, Ima call him Western Samoa. I'm going to also assume based on nothing but the fact that should be easier, that most of the Samoans in the U.S. are from the American Samoa.

    Most of the Somali actors in Captain Phillips were cast after an open casting call in Minnesota, including the guy who played the lead villain.

    Interesting facts:
    Somalia and Ethiopia are different countries.

    Minnesota and South Dakota are different states.

    Point I was trying to make with the Somali / Minnesota thing is that there are large pockets of eastern African immigrants scattered in random, white-bred Midwestern states, as is evident by the graph in question.

    You wouldn't be as out of place there as an Ethiopian as one might think

    English would be the easiest on the spectrum of easiest languages for English speaking people to learn.

    Would be completely dependent on which language you already know to determine where English would fall
