    "description": "A single map compares the distribution of six major languages other than English spoken in individual households throughout the city. These languages are Spanish, Chinese, French (Haitian) Creole, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Italian. For all of Boston, approximately 36% of the total population speaks a language other than English, compared to 26% in 1990. The highest percentages are found in East Boston (68.5%), Dorchester (41.6%) and Roslindale (40.6%). In Boston Public Schools, 47% of the students speak a language other than English as their first language, while English Language Learner students speak more than 85 different languages as their home language.",
