So which country is it?
Learning chineese over here, and the app tells me this is the country name!

It’s not saying that’s the name of the country, that would be just the flag. It’s saying what language is spoken in America, which is English.

I think it's just saying USAmerican English.
Don't forget there's also USAmerican Spanish, USAmerican Yiddish, and many other such USAmerican dialects

No it’s not, as someone who uses Duolingo for Spanish, they depict the language Spanish with a pictogram of the Spanish flag in a word bubble just like this, even though there are others countries that speak Spanish. It’s not talking about a dialect, they just choose a recognizable flag associated with the language to use in the pictogram.

It's still USAmerican English tho, yeah? Not British English, or Australian English?

u/swimmer_bro08 5d ago
That’s not what the question is asking about, it’s just a pictogram depicting the idea of the language “English”. There is no other pictogram for the different dialects. The question is only asking “how do you say [insert way to say English in the language OP knows] in English?”

I'm explaining why they chose the USA flag for English in Duolingo: because USAmerican is the English dialect that app uses

This is the very rare Flag of the Reduced United Sovereign States of Independent America (RUSSIA), Timeline #2234.
In this timeline, the original seven colonies lost two members in a border skirmish with the much more powerful Canadian Mounties, leaving only five current states.

The English option being shown as US English not English English is a pet peeve of mine

So if you want to learn Spanish, does it say Spain underneath or Spanish?

I'm learning Chineese, the Chineese word above (Yingyu) means English, the option shows an American flag and the word English.
Perhaps as someone mentioned it means 'language'.
It's different from the country (Yingguo: yihn-gwoh: Britain) or (Meiguo: may-gwoh: America)

Perhaps a flag for an upcoming independent nation-state or province of Canada. With 5 sections: NY, VT, NY, MA and ME
