The British ruled North America which is why the original 13 colonies spoke English. As the country grew, we took the language with us and displaced the other languages (both native and other colonial languages) spoken as the official language. I live in a part of the country where both Spanish and English are equally spoken (along with Vietnamese but that's another story).

Q. Could you speak latin and understand or be understood by someone speaking latin america spanish? Asked by Call me Kenny G - Tue Sep 30 15:27:16 2008 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. Nope. Latin is the language people used in Rome (the Roman empire) more than 1500 years ago. Latin American Spanish is a variation of Spanish (from Spain) like American English is a variation of British English. Of course there are some words in Latin that you can understand if you only speak Spanish like amor (love), rosa (rose), etc. and some verbs that are similar like amar/amare but Spanish speaking people (all of them) can't understand someone speaking in Latin nor can read Latin texts. It's called Latin America because they speak Spanish (or Portuguese) which is a language derived from Latin not because they speak some sort of Latin-Spanish creole.
