NAC language suppression

I wonder if there would be an oppression of language in the NAC. 
With the absorbing of central and south America, the predominate
languages
would be Spanish and Portuguese (by sheer numbers alone). Would the NAC
have
declared an "official language" of English, or would it become a
multi-lingual society? If an official language was declared, how
stringently
would it be enforced. I can think of numerous times in history where
conquered peoples were prohibited from using their native tongue.
