                                                 British English and American English

     Many students want to know the differences between American English and British English. Written English

is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example,

the words colour, centre and travelled are spelt color, center, and traveled in American English.

     The differences in the spoken language are greater. For example, Americans say dance /dns/, and in southern

England they say /da:ns/. In America, they pronounce not./nt/, in southern England they say /not/. However,

most of the time, people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.

     How did these differences come from? There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England

travelled to other countries they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as

the language used in Britain, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world.

     Sometimes, the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed, but sometimes the language

spoken in these places stayed the same while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago, the

English talked about "autumn". But Americans still talk about "fall" just as people do in some parts of western

England. In the same way Americans use the expression "I guess" (meaning "I think") just as the British did 300

years ago.

     A great many words and expressions have come into the language from American English, for example

movie, gas, store, mail, right away (at once), way of life and so on.

     American English has changed over the centuries, too. There are several reasons for this. One of the reasons

is that people travelled to America from all the European countries and from other parts of the world, too. They

started to use English, but they also brought in some words from old French. One of the States in the USA is

called "Florida". In Spanish this is "the land of flowers". There are a great many American Indian words, for

example, "to howl" means "to cry". And "cookbook" is a German word.
