New Hampshire Halal Explorer

Residents of the state are proud of the nature around them, so careless actions that damage the local environment are not appreciated. If hiking in the White Mountains, make certain that your travel plans are sound, as volunteer rescue teams do not appreciate being called in the middle of the night to find lost tourists. However, as tourism is the main industry in New Hampshire, Muslims are certainly greatly appreciated.

Local Language in New Hampshire

The main language is English.

Because of the proximity to Quebec and immigration by French Canadians, some French speakers can be found in the northern part of the state, especially in the Berlin area.

The southern regions have a growing Spanish speaking population, especially Manchester and Nashua, but it is a small percentage when compared to larger U.S. cities such as Los Angeles or Albuquerque.
