The provided pie charts illustrate the number of native speakers of various languages in Canada in the years 1996, 2006, and 2016.
Overall, the three pie charts highlight three main categories namely English, French, and other Non-official Languages. The common trend amongst the data depicts that the majority of the speakers, natively speak English.
Let’s focus on English native speakers to begin with. In 1996, 60% of the total population of Canada, spoke the language. This number took a slight dip in 2006 by decreasing by 2%. It further decreased by 1% in 2016 which resulted in the final number to be 57%.
Taking a look at the other two languages, French and Non-Official Languages, we can see a constant increase in the number of French native speakers, from 17% in 1996 to 22% in 2016. On the other hand, people speaking Non-Official Languages have had a constant decrease by 1% every 10 years from 23% in 1996 to 22% in 2006 to finally round up to 21% in 2016.
