Notes
Starting Wave 2, _hglote (Speaks a language other than English) and _hgeab (English ability) were moved from the Household Form to the Person Questionnaire. The PQ versions have been renamed from Wave 2 and will appear classified as person ancestry variables (_an). The renamed variables are _anlote and _aneab.
