English is the official language of the United States and is spoken by almost all American citizens, with only a small percentage that speaks other languages but no English. While one language unites most Americans there are great differences between pronunciations in different regions of the country.

Some of the differences are as simple as how you greet multiple people in a group. In the deep south it is common to refer to a group of people as y'all, while in some northern areas it is more commong to hear the phrase you guys. Other dialect differences become humorous, such as the debate as to whether carbonated drinks should be called soda, pop, or Coke (even if it is made by a competitor such as Pepsi!).
