I like you used to think that English came from America, until my boss pointed out to me the English Langauge is about 1500 years old. The Mayflower did not land in America until 1620 which is only 390 years ago that means the English were speaking English over 1,100 years before it was spoke in America. I would guess that is why they call it English not American.
Mimi kama wewe tukidhani kwamba Kiingereza alikuja kutoka Marekani, mpaka bosi wangu alisema kwangu Langauge Kiingereza ni kuhusu 1500 umri wa miaka . Mayflower si nchi katika Amerika ya mpaka 1620 ambayo ni tu 390 miaka iliyopita kuwa njia Kiingereza walikuwa wakisema Kiingereza juu ya 1,100 miaka kabla aliongea kwa Amerika . Ningedhani kuwa ni kwa nini wanayaita Kiingereza si Marekani .
