Whats the original language of USA .Since english is from England?

Question

So if they are different from britishers why do they speak english

Answer 1

Im Chickahominy from Eastern Va and my tribe spoke Chickahominy for over 8 thosand years. We no longer do, but we still incorporate more native worlds in our language than most other English speakers.

Also my tribe, my grandparents and even our current chief have insisted that we were the first tribe that the Europeans came in contact with when the landed in East Va. They tell us that Powhatan (Wahunsonacock) was our chief (they called him Powhatan cause they couldn't say is name). I dont know how true it is. But if so, this means Chickahominy was the first language that many of the new Brittish in America learned to speak. However, the Pumunkey's (our bothering neighbors) also say Powhatan was their chief, so who knows.

I asked my older sister, she said that we (us & the Pumunkeys were once the same tribe)

I hope this helps!

Original language of the USA is English because it was a part of England at one time before it won its independence in the 1770's. While there were languages spoken on the continent earlier, it was not yet the USA, so they cannot be counted as original languages of the USA. They were languages of the nations that preceded the USA.
