Americans speak American

[Cynicalx]

Instead of English?

Is it right to say they speak american?
Because thr are so many differences in pronunciation.

(Pizza) America= Pit za, England= Pee suh
(Can't) American= Kent, England= C unt
(Strawberry) American= Straw bear ri, England= Straw bri

America = Gray, Center, Donut, Flunk
England = Grey, Centre, Doughnut, Failed

England English - Can you recognise what colour is grey?

American English - Can you recognize what color is gray?

American pronounciation of Tomato
Toe-Mae-Toe

Proper Pronounciation of Tomato
Toh-mah-toh

There are many more. Just naming some

let's call the whole thing off

It's English; British/American are both accents.

Along with plenty of others that people probably don't know about.

American and English are two distinct languages.

Why?

The United States doesn't have a national language! That would be unconstitutional via the 1st Amendment! The government may not use the law to force citizens to have a religion or speak a language. Citizens and occupants speak dozens of sublanguages which have branched off their extranational roots. To name a few:

• American Spanish
• American French
• American Chinese
• American Arabic
• American Hindi

And the big one which is used in business and between subcultures:
• American English

American French, more like Cajun French lol. and American Spanish would be Mexican Spanish......

[Farscape123]

Like other people said, American English is not different enough from other English language groups to be considered its own language. Maybe in a thousand years that will change, assuming we are speaking English at all by then.

Americans speak American English.
American isn't even a language.....

Pretty much this.
Just how Mexicans speak Mexican Spanish, Brazilians speak Brazilian Portuguese, and the Irish speak Irish English.

What the hell? I don't think that's even a term. They have their own language you know. Like Scotland and Wales.

Come again? And besides, Hiberno-English is the actual term.

If it's a different language then why can I understand both spoken languages when I only learned British in school? Maybe we should have had American as a school subject as well.

Atleast it isn't American language.

Different dialects of the same language is much more accurate

I've seen a few Americans who claim they speak 'American', rather than English.

[supergandhi64]

And they are obviously very stupid if they honestly think "American" is a language.

Did you bother reading one sentence of the article? "A grieving woman was so devastated by her husband’s death that she couldn’t bear to report it".

ironic if you realize that bears live in woods lol

I understand what you're saying, but I'd go for the reason that we have different words for the same things like fries translating to chips, or garbage to rubbish, etc, etc...
