I’ve replied to your other message with the info that you’re looking for.

Many people speak multiple languages but it’s a choice that parents make for their offspring and some make a different choice.

Some also see other languages as more important and I know in America it’s not uncommon for deaf people to speak ASL and LSM if they come from a Hispanic community.
