No, it's not. America was formed by European immigrants remember? Each sought out their own place. The Bayou, NY City, Texas, North Dakota, San Fransico… All with their own culture. This struck me as I drove from New Orleans through Alabama. I couldn't even understand the Alabama-english..
- workhere-io 13y agoI couldn't even understand the Alabama-english.. They still speak English, though, just like the vast majority of Americans. Europe has a huge number of different languages, and especially in Southern Europe it's not uncommon for even young people to not speak any English at all - meaning there's not even a common language that all Europeans speak. I'm certainly not saying that all of US is the same. I'm saying that the differences are smaller than the differences you see in Europe. And I'm saying that as someone who've lived in the US and Europe and visited a great number of European countries.
