what is the primary language spoken in alberta canada?
English is the primary language spoken in Alberta. Many tourist facilities will also have French staff available since Canada is a bilingual country, but very few privately owned companies maintain French staff. All federal government services in Canada are available in French and English. In certain areas of Alberta other languages are also spoken. The two major cities (Edmonton and Calgary) both have areas where populations from China are more prevalent, in the downtown core many services are available in Cantonese as a result. Each city also has areas that have east indian populations. Some services in those areas may be available in Pubjab or Hindi. If you’re travelling in the tourist areas and major cities of Alberta you will be able to communicate in all businesses and with most people in English the same as you would in an US State or city. My knowledge comes from the fact that I lived in Calgary and travelled throughout Alberta for more than 5 years, and have lived in Canada al
