How many languages are spoken in San Francisco
San Francisco's multi-cultural and therefore multi-lingual background isn't unknown. People know that many different languages are spoken by the people here. However, they'll still be surprised to hear that according to a US Census report, a staggering 112 languages are spoken in San Francisco's metropolitan homes.
This data makes San Francisco, the "fifth most linguistically varied metro area" in the United States. San Francisco is only behind Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Chicago in this aspect.
The San Francisco Metropolitan area includes San Francisco, Alameda, Marin, Contra Costa, and San Mateo.
