None is best. Each one is different though with commom origins. The best is Spanish.

It depends a lot on where you live. In many countries either American or British English has higher prestige because of social, geographical, or economic factors. For example, in Hong Kong, people would often rather learn British English because of the close relationship Hong Kong has with England. In Denmark, American English is more prestigious because of the economic power of the United States (I assume).

British accent is very sexy, I love it. The Queen's English is clear, but some parts of the UK English requires a lot of concentration.
American accent is easier to learn for non-English speaker and easier to understand when talking to a native speaker although we were taught British English in school.
The above post reminded me with a reply to an earlier question in politics :)
------Quoted-------
Q: Why do Americans call FOOTball soccer and call their RUGBY, FOOTBALL?
A: Because they have bastardised the English language so much, like everything they get their hands on they've ruined it.
For instance the word 'colour', they spell it 'color', it's the English language and not the American language.
Typical of the US though, see something and take it over, make it American!!!!!!

Sorry to bring politics in, but I find it funny :) just forget about the political part and enjoy the humor.

Neither is best. Both are equal dialects of English, but neither are a single unified dialect. There is actually more variation in British English than there is in American English.

Blimey! That's a good question. Why isn't that the Brits can't speak American? Inquiring minds want to know.
But British accents are kind of cool.
