The commissioners of Walkersville, Md. unanimously voted to make English the official language of the town Wednesday night, making this community the latest to approve an official English law.

The town of more than 5,000 people is located north of Frederick, Md. and is part of Frederick County, where 32 languages are spoken at home.
