Best Answer

We speak English because this country was founded by English-speaking people, people who came from England. While it's true that early explorers of America were not English, it was English-speaking people who first formed the government here.

"Manuals" on speaking English are widely available. They are called dictionaries, and are the best place to learn pronunciation and even good usage. The best dictionaries, in my opinion, are Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary. Those two show the most standard pronunciation and definitions of words. They also keep up, by adding new words that come about as a result of innovation and invention--words like byte and iPod.

English is a widely spoken language due to historical factors like British colonialism and the influence of the United States as a global superpower. It has become a common language for international communication, business, and education, leading to its widespread use around the world.
