WIESBADEN – In most multi-person households (56%) where at least one person had a migrant background the language largely spoken was German in 2017. A person has a migrant background if he or she or at least one parent did not acquire German citizenship by birth. Based on results of the 2017 microcensus, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that the most common foreign language in those households was Turkish (17%), followed by Russian (15%), Polish (8%) and Arabic (7%).
