But it's worth noting that lingusists actually agree that the American accents and their brand of English is closer to traditional english then the current English brand of English. It's a funny thing to keep in mind the next time you hear an english person talking about how americans are "mangling" their lanaguage. In reality... it's quite the opposite. |
What is "traditional" English? Latin? Celtic? French? Spanish? Italian? Pretty much all European languages are actually weird bastardisations of each other from the constant invasions back in the olden days. I think that's why there are often so many shared words. :D
Do Americans talk more like Shakespeare's writing style? Some would say that's traditional English.
