Most Americans probably think that as well.

I agree

What, you don't speak American?
American isn't a language. Unless you were being sarcastic...


Technically you are correct although Americans do have different slang than other english speaking counties as well as different spellings of words for example color and colour. So this can be argued.

No, it can't.

American English is a dialect of the English language. American is by no means a language at all, and it simply used to refer to the citizens or residents of those in the USA.
