\66 THE LANGUAGE OF IMMIGRANT PEOPLES
Both the Northern groups (the Germanic and Scandinavian) speak English or French as
‘he mother language to a far greater extent that do the Southern and Eastern groups. There
is not much difference between the Latin and Greek and the Slavic peoples in this respect.
The Czechs are quite exceptional among the Slavs with a percentage of 10-5, which is also
higher than that for any in the Latin and Greek group. The Ukrainians had the lowest proportion
of all European origins speaking one of the Canadian languages in the home, 0-6
o.c., and it is recalled that of those coming from Europe they showed the smallest percentage
marrying outside their own group. Further, when they did marry outside, they showed the
smallest percentage marrying into the British stocks.
