The legal system, government structure, and English language were adopted in the English colonies in the 13 colonies. Additionally, religious practices carried over from England and influenced the culture in the colonies.
Some foreign words adopted in English language include "schadenfreude" from German, "cul-de-sac" from French, "bungalow" from Hindi, and "sushi" from Japanese.
American English may seem more popular as it is used a lot in the Media and TV Shows but generally around the world, more countries do actually speak a variation of British English. This is because America has never had its own colonies in which it could spread American English which is different to the British who introduced British English to all of their colonies around the world during the British Empire.
During the time of their independence, the majority of the colonial population had come from Great Britain, whether from Scotland, Ireland, England or Wales. But there were several other languages spoken...Delaware was founded by Sweden, New York was fouded by the dutch, and many spanish speaking Floridians and Louisina/Ohio Valley/Quebec peoples speaking french also lived in the territories of the colonies. However, English was spoken by nearly 85% of all of the American colonists, remember this all occured before the industrial revolution and before the American country attracted unskilled labor forces from other regions because until now the territory was under ENGLISH territorial law so most of those who came in were English and spoke English
The English colonies in North America can be broadly categorized into three main groups: New England colonies, Middle colonies, and Southern colonies. New England colonies (such as Massachusetts and Connecticut) were known for their focus on religion, shipbuilding, and trade. Middle colonies (such as New York and Pennsylvania) had diverse populations and were known for their agricultural production and trade. Southern colonies (such as Virginia and the Carolinas) relied heavily on agriculture, particularly cash crops like tobacco and rice, and utilized slave labor in plantation economies.
