Do you know the third most spoken language in Texas?
Most quickly count out English and Spanish on their fingers, but they always scratch their heads at number three.
The answer won’t come as a surprise to Houstonians who have stopped for pho on Bellaire Boulevard, or those who have visited the annual Children’s Mid-Autumn Festival celebrating this culture’s heritage at Cali Saigon Mall in Garland.
But for those newcomers who haven’t yet had the privilege of meeting this spirited community, I’ll fill you in: it’s Vietnamese.
Texas is home to more than 210,000 Vietnamese-Americans, and when the 2020 Census results are tabulated, I bet we’ll find that population has grown. A large portion have settled in Houston and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where you’ll find vibrant neighborhoods celebrating their culture.
