## Caption

One of the handful of cities in America with a significant Chinese population, San Francisco has historically been home to a large Cantonese-speaking community.

San Francisco has the second largest Cantonese-speaking population in the U.S. While the city’s Chinese communities have advocated for and implemented more Cantonese classes in K-8 education, the language isn’t being taught at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Over 75% of Chinese speakers within the San Francisco Unified School District use Cantonese at home, according to the district. The U.S. Census Bureau’s San Francisco language diversity data shows that out of 139,427 people who speak Chinese, 81,451 of them are people with limited English proficiency. 

In a 2026 Language Access Compliance Summary report from the Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs in fiscal year 2024-2025, city departments saw 517,643 LEP client interactions in Cantonese, an increase of 42% compared to the previous fiscal year and 41% increase from the five-year average.
