American English
American English, sometimes called United States English or U.S. English, is the set of varieties of the English language native to the United States. English is the most widely spoken language in the U.S. and is an official language in 32 of the 50 U.S. states and the de facto common language used in government, education, and commerce in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in all territories except Puerto Rico. De jure, there is no official language at the federal level, as there is no law designating English as official. Still, Executive Order 14224 of 2025 declares English to be official and is recognized by federal agencies. Since the late 20th century, American English has become the most influential form of English worldwide.
