Just 51 percent of New Yorkers speak only English at home, according to recent data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. As for the other 49 percent, well, the languages span the globe.

Not surprisingly, Spanish (and Spanish Creole) speakers make up a bulk of the non-English population — about 25 percent of the city, or 1,87 million residents. Chinese came in second, with around 419,000 speakers in the Big Apple. There are around 106,000 people who chat in French Creole, another 81,000 who speak French, and 186,000 Russian speakers.

The survey also found 85,000 Yiddish speakers, while 47,000 speak Hebrew at home. Nearly 200,000 New Yorkers converse in an Indic language, like Hindi, Urdu or Gujarati. And 53,000 communicate in Arabic.
