American Version of the English Language
A language is the reflection of the national culture of the country, where it was formed. In the course of time the language is changing, and the history of the nation influences on the nature of these changes. American nation has a rich experience and as a consequence the American version of the English language has some distinctions in pronunciation and a set of original vocabulary.
The American dialect of English is divided into three types: basic, eastern and southern. Travelling across the United States you can also face to some new accents and specific vocabulary.
The southern type of American English was based on the linguistic mixture of French and African, because this territory of the country was in the power of the slave-owners from France.
How to identify the southern dialect? The letter “r” serves only for the vowel longitude, but does not sound. And the letter combination “ng” sounds like “n”. The southern people pronounce the sound [e] instead of [i]. Thus, without the context it is very hard to understand some words. For example, “pin” and “pen” sound identically.
The cultural diversity if the West has resulted in the new dialect, the most difficult to understand. The western accent sounds like a speaker is chewing a gum all the time. The sound [r] is very stretched here.
The northeastern part of the U.S. was settled by immigrants from the European countries, primarily from the Great Britain. In this regard, the inhabitants of the northeast speak a basic dialect that is very similar to the British version of the English language. However, wherever you were in the United States, you will be understood by each American, if you pronounce the English words correctly in accordance with the general phonetic rules. But in order to feel in the U.S. right at home, you should learn the specifications of American version of English.
