Not directly comparable to the white/Black dissimilarity and so on that we often see but it does to give a sense of what how residentially concentrated some Asian subgroups are (the stats usually lump all Asians together).
What's the definition of the language speakers given -- is it their mother tongue/main/"native" language, or just anyone who speaks it (which then I wonder how it'd deal with bilingual or multilingual people, since a bilingual Spanish-English speaker can't be segregated from both Spanish-only and English-only people, can they)?
Are multiple responses allowed or only single responses (eg. assumed to be language most often spoken at home)?
Come to think of it, even studies of ethnic segregation would have to deal with the multiple response issue (eg. do multiracial people get counted, or only single responses are counted).
Also kind of interesting that the trends with segregation by language is also higher in cities where segregation by race is higher (eg. Seattle has lower segregation than the cities out east, Chicago is heavily segregated by language just like race).
Although language is obviously decoupled from ethnicity (Spanish and French are more likely to be spoken by people of many ethnic groups, and even learned in school, which is probably why the segregation index could be lower among those speakers)

Some "white" subgroups are probably residentially concentrated too (the Russians are up there, and I wouldn't be surprised if some, like Greeks, Polish are too).
I mean to some extent it's just mapping first-generation immigrants. My parents don't speak English at home and I don't speak English to them, but we all speak English fluently (although my parents have accents).

Also there's gotta be a typo for Spanish and Atlanta. No way the Spanish-speaking population is that small and really no way that it equals the Chinese-speaking population.
