American English language or speech patterns, especially when viewed as distinct from British English or other varieties; American linguistic style.
From 'American' + '-ese' suffix (language or style of). The '-ese' suffix comes from Italian/Portuguese and creates noun forms describing languages or distinctive speech patterns.
Unlike 'Americanism' (which is about American cultural values), 'Americanese' specifically mocks the sound and style of American English—it's a playful, slightly mocking term from the 1800s.
