I found this Map.... Fascinating.... and Suprising in some respects.
The MLA (Modern Language Association) Web
Site has a "Language Map"
that gives you the opportunity to see
either National, and by State, and
by County or Zip Code, the numbers of
people that speak any one of 37 Languages.

MORE SPECIFICALLY:
View
the Map View an interactive map showing the numbers of speakers of
thirty-seven languages and language groups. Click the map to zoom in on
a region. Add or remove county and city names, rivers and lakes, and highways.
A bar graph beneath the map provides the actual numbers of speakers by
state; for numbers of speakers by zip code, town, city, or county, use
the Data Center.
Compare
Languages and Places Generate interactive maps for two languages in
the same state, or compare the concentration of the same language in two
states. Zoom in on both national maps to focus on regions; zoom in on state
maps to focus on clusters of counties or zip codes.
Find
Out More Detailed Information Visit the Data Center for information
about numbers of speakers of languages in a specific state, county, zip
code, metropolitan area, or town or to view charts that illustrate the
distribution by percentage of the languages in each state. Compare speakers
of different languages by two age groups: 5-17 and 18 and over.
