Nevada

Midland and Northern English dialects are so intermixed in Nevada that no clear regional division appears; an example of this is the scattered use of both Midland dived (instead of dove) as the past tense of dive and the Northern /krik/ for creek . In 2000, 1,425,748 Nevadans—76.9% of the resident population five years old or older—spoke only English at home, down from 86.8% in 1990.

The following table gives selected statistics from the 2000 census for language spoken at home by persons five years old and over. The category "Other Pacific Island languages" includes Chamorro, Hawaiian, Ilocano, Indonesian, and Samoan.
