Accents and Dialects

People develop accents and speech patterns based on their environment, culture, and social interactions. Variation can occur due to factors such as geographical location, family background, education, and exposure to different languages. These different influences contribute to the diversity of accents and speech patterns we observe among individuals and communities.

To expand more on dialect, one example I can think of is in the Arabic language.

There are many different dialects, such as Egyptian Arabic or Iraqi Arabic. The point is that it is still Arabic, just a few differences in the words spoken.

Americans outnumber the British, so there are more Americans in international business.

Actually, wordwide, British English is more commonly taught and used than American English. However, American expressions are penetrating all forms of English, not because there are more Americans than Englishmen, but because the Americans dominate the entertainment industry, and their forms of English are constantly heard in films and television programs and song lyrics. These forms of pop culture influence the English spoken by young people everywhere the language is spoken, including England.

American and British English differ for three reasons:

1. Deliberate attempts by Americans to distinguish themselves from the English. Earlier in their history, the American felt quite insecure about themselves as compared to the world-dominating Brits. Some of them changed they way they spelled certain words so that they could feel special and different.

2. Natural divergence. Before world-wide communications, when a word was needed, every local area would come up with its own version. When a shorter version of the word "television" was required, the English came up with "telly", whereas the acronym-happy Americans came up with "TV".

3. American conservatism. Americans lag behind the rest of the world in many ways, and one of these ways is in language. Often American English retains a word which has become obsolete everywhere else. Americans tend not to notice this because they tend not to take much notice of what goes on outside their borders. This fact has the dual results of making it less likely that American language will change, and making other people adopt American expressions when talking to Americans, since Americans are unlikely to understand anything foreign.
