English is mostly divided into American and British English. Spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary change slightly even within the same country.
Here are some examples of differences between British and American English.

PRONUNCIATION, Americans, and British native speakers sometimes put stress on different parts of the word.

There may be a lot of differences between American and British English but they also have a lot of similarities.
