16th century the British had contact with people from around the world This means that many new words and phrases entered the language The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print Books became cheaper and more people learned to read Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect 方言 of London became the standard In 1604 the first English dictionary was published The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors firstly the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words secondly the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth s surface and the English language took in foreign words from many countries From around 1600 the English colonization 殖民地化 of North America resulted in the creation of American English Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America In some ways American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English Some expressions that the British call Americanisms are in fact original 原先的 British expressions that were preserved 保存 in the colonies but were lost in Britain Spanish also had an influence on American English with words like canyon ranch stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English French words and West African words also influenced American English Today American English is the most influential 有影响力的 But there are many other kinds of English around the world including Australian English New 6 Zealand English Canadian
