New Mexico entered the union in 1916 as an officially bilingual state, with both English and Spanish recognized as official languages. This recognition of bilingualism was a reflection of the state's vibrant Hispanic and Native American cultures.
A country can be considered bilingual when it has two official languages that are widely spoken and used in government, education, and daily life by a significant portion of the population. The level of bilingualism can vary depending on the extent of language use and support for both languages in various aspects of society.
