15. Question 13 - languages spoken

Since Israel is an immigration country, many different languages are spoken in it. The purpose of the question is to evaluate the extent of use in each language.

Explanations: Languages spoken
[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 13.]

In answer to this question, specify the main language spoken by the person in everyday life.

If a person speaks more than one language in everyday life, register first -- as "only or main language" the language which he/she speaks more than any other language. As "second language" -- register the second language he/she speaks in everyday life.
Do not register more than two languages.

Notice!
Register only languages spoken in everyday life. Do not register languages the person speaks but does not use as an everyday spoken language.
