United States
The text states that the United States has no official language, and most people assume it is English.
Recent evidence indicates that as of March 1, 2025, English was officially designated as the United States' official language by Executive Order 14224. Previously, the U.S. had no statutory official language, with English serving as the de facto language. This change appears more symbolic since English was already the primary language of governance and communication in the U.S. Claims about assumptions regarding English being the official language are supported by the fact that many still perceive it as such, illustrating the symbolic nature of the new designation.

Most people assume English is the official language of the United States.
Given that English was the de facto national language before the 2025 executive order, it is reasonable to assume that many people considered it the official language already. The new designation largely aligns with common assumptions. [Wikipedia, ForumTogether, Whitehouse source].
