We have three colonial regions because the Middle Colonies used to be Dutch, until the English conquered them.

German immigrants settled the middle colonies.

All were English colonies that were founded in an unexplored territory miles and miles away from other European civilization.
This depends entirely on when and what area of the world we are talking about. The English Channel (la Manche) forms a physical boundary between English and French territory in Europe after the Hundred Years War with England being north of the channel and France being south of it. In North America, prior to the Seven Years War, the Appalachian Mountains separated the English colonies and the French colonies with the English colonies being to the east of the mountains and the French colonies to the west. French Indochina and British Burma were separated by the Mekong River with British Burma lying to west and French Indochina lying to the east.
The colonies were obtained by mainly English expansion westwards from the 16th century onwards. Colonies were established during the reign of Elizabeth 1 - hence the name Virginia - but they failed. Colonisation expanded rapidly (and brutally) during the 17th. As territory was taken from indigenous peoples they became colonies in their own right based on English customs and laws. In short, they were stolen.
The thirteen colonies were English colonies and, thus, spoke English.
