Under both U.S. and U.K. law, a child is a citizen by birth so long as one parent is a citizen. The child of an American father and a British mother would automatically be a citizen of both countries, regardless of where the child was born.
Many, but not all, countries have laws stating that anyone born on their soil is automatically a citizen. It varies from place to place. Where's you-know-who planning to take you?

I believe the citizenship would be from the South American country the baby was born in (although I'm not sure of the laws there).
Nonetheless, the nationality of the baby would Ameritish!

Most countries adopt the English common law rule of “right of soil.” In other words, you generally have the right to claim citizenship of the place where you were born.
In the parents or the child wish to claim US citizenship, there are rules and procedures to follow and their best bet is to consulate the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate. I've posted a link to a very informative article on the topic that appears below.
I don't know what UK law would be on the matter.

I don't want to brag, but I currently have an IQ of 188, and there can only be opinions associated with your question, thus my opinion is that the baby would be considered a South Englishcan given it would receive most of its genes from the mother...? and I realize that you may consider removing a point or two from my IQ range in regards to my ridiculous answer;) LOL

Unfortunately no!
And the baby would have an American/English/South American nationality!!

I would say it would be South America--because it was born in that country----but as far as what values and traditions the child is reared with is up to the parents.

not too terribly smart but to answer your question the child will have citizenship in South america but will have the right to claim dual citizenship for the american or british nationality since both parents have that claim in each country

As much as I love Gummi's answer, I have to go with Eeyoree & Rosey on this one. South American.
