This is because English settlers from England came to this part of America a long time ago and English became the main language they spoke.

In the Southern part of the United States, Spanish is more commonly spoken. This is because many years ago, when Spain colonized parts of what is now the United States, they brought their language with them.

Afrikaans

Afrikaans originated in South Africa during the 17th century. It evolved from the Dutch spoken by Dutch settlers who migrated to the region. Through contact with other languages such as Khoisan and various African and Asian languages, Dutch gradually evolved into Afrikaans. Afrikaans was eventually recognized as a separate language in the 20th century. It is now spoken by millions of people in South Africa and is considered an important part of the country's cultural identity.
