Despite its melting pot reputation, Hawaii not among the top-five states in which a foreign language is spoken at home.

A new study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that a record 61.8 million U.S. residents spoke a language other than English at home, an increase of 32 percent since 2000, and 94 percent since 1990.

Some 25.1 percent of Hawaii residents spoke a language other than English at home in 2013, ranking the Aloha State at No. 9 behind the 43.8 percent in top-ranked California; 36 percent in New Mexico; 34.7 percent in third-ranked Texas; 30.4 percent in New Jersey and the 30.3 percent in Nevada.

New York, also an international melting pot, is at No. 6 with 30.1 percent.

The state with the lowest percentage of foreign-language speakers is West Virginia, at 2.3 percent.

By far the top foreign language spoken in America in 2013 was Spanish, at 38,417,235, followed by Chinese at 3,029,042; Tagalog, 1,612,465; Vietnamese, 1,428,352; and at No. 6, Korean, at 1,100,881. 

Japanese is the 15th-most common foreign language, with 454,997 speakers, the center said.

The percentage of Hawaii households where a language other than English is spoken decreased to 25.1 percent in 2013, from 25.9 percent in 2010 and from 26.6 percent in 2000.
