Student: Amirbek Zhyldyzay

“ England and America are two countries divided by a common language.”

~George Bernard Shaw

The English language was introduced to the Americans through British colonization in the early 17th century and it spread to many parts of the world because of the strength of the British empire. Over the years, English spoken in the United States and in Britain started diverging from each other in various aspects. This led to two dialects in the form of the American English and the British English .

How did this divergence occur?
