The Modern Language Association (MLA) Language Map Data Center offers data on languages spoken at home by persons above the age of 5. It does not offer data on Limited English Proficiency. Data can be searched by state, city, zip code, etc. To access the MLA Data Center, click here.

Courts throughout New Mexico track interpreter usage, as well as encounters between court staff and LEP persons in out-of-courtroom settings, by language. That data may be viewed in each court’s language access plan.
