Following on from a post made in another thread of this forum. Let us answer the question.
Are English and American the same language or have they become different languages?

In my opinion most Americans can speak another language.
Most of them have very passable English.
Because American and English are similar Languages, but different. I do laugh when I hear an American asked what languages they speak and they reply 'Only English'.
Hey Man! How ya doin?
Trunk, Gas, Stick Shift, Fender.
Elephant, Cooking, Moving bits of wood and Guitar come to most English minda, but no in that other language American they all relate to a car or should it be auto?
Just having fun but we could have a little poll.
Are English and American the same language or have they become different languages?

English and American are different dialects of the same language.
More precisely, two groups of dialects because each language consists of dozens of variants.
