Although some of them had spent some years of exile in Holland they spoke with the accents of the southern part of their home country.
To a large extent they kept that form of speech, but they soon learned to give old words new uses.
They also took words from the local Indian languages for plants and animals that were new to them.
6. Until the Declaration of Independence in 1776 over two - thirds of the settlers in what later became the U.
S. came from England.
After that date many other people came to make a new life for themselves in the New World.

Most civilizations and cultures – in their writings, traditions, folk stories – have traces of the old language.
