I speak english english and american english, does that make me bilingual?

Question

I'm half english and half american, according to friends, my accent changes depending where I am and who I'm with. And I also speak spanish fyi.

Answer 1

You're bilingual because you speak Spanish and English, you're bidialectual because you speak two kinds of English. It's like speaking Latin American Spanish and Spainish Spanish. Still Spanish, just some different phrases, accent, possibly spelling...

Answer 2

well since you know Spanish and English then yes, you are bilingual, but saying that you only speak English and American English then that does not make you bilingual, they are the same language just with a different accent.

good luck.

Answer 3

Hello,

Engish is English

British English is the original , came from Britian to America and also have some slight changes in also accents and some words. Some people refer to it as dialects

You are only multilingual if you speak more than one language for instance is saying because i speak portuguese in portugal and the one in brazil, the truth is that its the same language.

Take care

Answer 4

english is one language, so you wouldn't be bilingual by speaking 2 dialects of one language. you would be, i guess bi-dialectual. Speaking spanish and english however, does make you bilingual. Congrats!

Answer 5

not at all....it's the same language....you are a bilingual only if you speak 2 DIFFERENT languages,like Spanish and English or otherwise

Answer 6

nope, just bivarietal. American and English English aren't even different enough to be different dialects, much less languages.

Answer 7

No and it doesn't make you look smart either.Actually,makes you look dumb because the American English is the slang of the proper,posh English.

Answer 8

no you are only bilingual if you know another language other than english and know how to translate one to each other.example spanish to english bilingue ,bilingual ext...

Answer 9

Since you speak two dialects of English, you are bidialectal.

Answer 10
