American English is a variant of the English language spoken in the United States. It includes a variety of dialects, sounds, pronunciation patterns, vocabulary, grammar, and spellings that can differ significantly from other forms of English such as British English or Australian English. Its development was influenced by both the various groups of settlers that colonized America, and the native and immigrant groups that it has interacted with.

American English
American English is a set of dialects of the English language used mostly in the United States. Approximately two-thirds of the world's native speakers of English live in the United States. English is the most common language in the United States. Though the U.S. federal government has no official language, English is the common language used by the federal government and is considered the de facto language of the United States because of its widespread use. English has been given official status by 30 of the 50 state governments. As an example, under federal law, English is the official language of United States courts in Puerto Rico. The use of English in the United States is a result of English colonization. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, American English has been influenced by the languages of West Africa, the Native American population, German, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the US.
