American English, or United States (U.S.) English, is the set of dialects of the English language native to the United States. English is the most widely spoken language in the United States and is the common language used by the federal government, considered the de facto language of the country because of its widespread use. English has been given official status by 30 of the 50 state governments. As an example, while both Spanish and English have equivalent status in the local courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under federal law, English is the official language for any matters being referred to the United States District Court for the territory.
The use of English in the United States is a result of British 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, Dutch, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the United States.

Why Do GERMANS speak AMERICAN ENGLISH?
here comes my one and only
talking like a starlet on a hollywood screen
she whispers something to me
I hear the words but I don't know what she means
oh she speaks american english
oh don't always understand
though she speaks american english
got the language of love
at her command
love travels transatlantic
I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech
can't follow her semantics
but when her body moves it's clear to me
chorus
we don't need words
to express what is real
we've got each other
that says everything that we feel
there's too much damn confusion
with all this talking going round and round
we'll reach our own conclusion
we'll make connection on the common ground
chorus
she speaks american english
she speaks the language of love
