People coming from other countries brought new languages over for people to teach and learn, and eventually speak. This is a reason the US and Canada have so many people speaking so many different languages, and this is also part of the reason the US is called "a melting pot."

How has imagration affected language in the US and Canada?

Sometimes words are borrowed from other languages and added to English as the things they name are introduced to our culture, such as "sauerkraut," "taco," and "sushi." Sometimes we start using a different borrowed term for one reason or another. For "tsunami" we used to say "tidal wave," which is not entirely accurate. Many speakers/writers have started saying "muslim," apparently closer to the Arabic pronunciation than "moslem," or the even older "musselman."
