Spanish is the second most spoken language in the US and one of the attacked and minoritized languages in the territory. To investigate the presence of the myths regarding Spanish and its speakers in the US, 210 participants were recruited to express their (dis)agreement with 8 myths in a 6-point Likert scale. The results indicate a high tendency for myth rejection regardless of their (i) self-reported race/ ethnicity, (ii) level of education, and (iii) (absence of) knowledge of Spanish except for a few of them. Thus, the present study would entail that the hegemonic linguistic ideology in the US is starting to change.
