The American Language
The American language is many languages. The United States is a large country, and many local dialects and accents of American English exist; the state of Tennessee alone has four. Great cities like New York, New Orleans and Boston have their own linguistic traditions. There is, however, a standard spoken English used by most television and radio announcers and understandable to all English speakers. It is flat and somewhat colorless, the language of the great middle part of the country. Next Section: Vital, and English Land, History and Language: Chapter Home
