In the US, it does and always has. You may not realize it but the 13 colonies had rather extreme variations in culture, and somewhat lesser extremes in language (a high percentage of Pennsylvanians were Pennsylvania Deutsch. Wilmington DE was called "New Sweden". New York was not too far removed from being called "New Amsterdam", and some areas still predominant spoke Dutch.
