英语明明是美国语言，为什么要称为“英语”呢？

Question

请译成英文

Answer 1

翻译：English is obviously the American language. Why is it called "British English" instead?

注解：英语最早是由英国人传入其他地方（殖民地）。美国，加拿大，澳大利亚等以前都是大英帝国的殖民地，传到当地后不断演化，逐渐形成了 美式英语，加拿大英语，澳式英语等等。

Answer 2

Adair 那个是对的，我就纯碎帮他翻成英文 分你照样给他好了 ^^

If the English language is the official language of America, why is it called "English"?

The relationship is reversed. The English language was first passed down to America by the British during its colonization of the country. As time goes by, however, Americans have made various modifications to the language, thus creating what we call American English today. In fact, British colonization had transformed many other countries into English-speaking countries.

Answer 3

颠倒了...
英语是由英国人传入美国的
后来在美国的延伸，衍生了现在的美语
因为英国之前的殖民入侵
所以才诞生了现在这么多个英语系国家

Answer 4

....
English is a combine language, one of the latin language.and also american english comes from the british english.so why should the english be called amercianish?

Answer 5

英语发展到现在分为英式英语，美式英语，澳大利亚，印度等曾经的英国殖民地也说英语(不过是非纯正的了)。现在的美国人是当年欧洲移民的后代，当时移民大多是英国人。

Answer 6

英语有美国英语和英国英语之分
