Explanation:

1. Spanish has become more important in the US mainly due to large - scale immigration from Latin America (where Spanish is widely spoken). The US has no official language at the federal level, and only a few states have made Spanish an official language. While some schools may offer Spanish, it is not a widespread high - school graduation requirement.
2. Hinduism is considered the world's largest ethnic religion. Christianity is a universalizing religion (aims to spread to all people), and Buddhism also has a more universalizing aspect in its spread.
3. By definition, an official language is used by the government for business and official documents. A lingua franca is a language used for communication between different language - speaking groups (not necessarily government - specific), and vulgar Latin is an ancient form of Latin.
4. Sovereignty refers to a state's control over its internal and external affairs. Nationality is related to a person's legal membership in a nation, and suffrage is the right to vote.

Answer:

1. of large - scale immigration from Latin America.
2. Hinduism.
3. official language.
4. Sovereignty.
