Best Answer

English and Spanish are the top two languages spoke in America. But I also know some people who speak Japanese, German, and Italian.

I have read that the English accent in the US that is considered the average or standard accent is English as it is spoken in the mid-west.

Yes, depending on what dialect you speak. If you speak UK English, Australian English, etc., it is a past tense of the verb "deam", whereas in US English, I think "dreamed" is used.


Where do the people in Spain speak a dialect?

That depends on your point of reference. According to the Real Academia Spanish, as spoken in Castilla (Castillian Spanish) is proper Spanish and everything else is a dialect. However, if you lived anywhere BUT Castillia, I would think it quite normal for the locals to consider their dialect "proper" and anything else a dialect. Confused you didn't I? Look at it this way. If you live in the US which of these is a dialect, Montana western, Boston, New York Brooklynese, New York Manhattanese, or Louisiana Cajun? It depends on where you live wouldn't you say? In Barcelona, it isn't necessarily a different dialect, but a different way of speaking. They speak with a lisp. Legend has it that they once had a King that spoke with a lisp, and since nobody wanted to offend him, they followed suit. So the following generations spoke that way until it became second nature.
