About American English

American English is spoken by nearly 225 million people in all its varieties in the United States. It is recognized as an official language in 32 of the 50 states. The American dialect of English emerged following British colonization. During the 17th century, the American colonies were made up of people who spoke many different dialects of English. Over time, dialect mixture and leveling resulted in a fairly uniform dialect of English unique to the Americas.
