American citizens changed their language at several aspects:
The main difference is in phonetics.
the "a" in the word "ask" is pronounced like the a in "hat" in America but in the Commonwealth the "a" in "ask" is pronounced more like the "a" in "car" or "park". The same with "plaza", "task", "mask", "answer", "afternoon" and many others.
American do not pronounce the "g" in many words ending "ing“: Running - Runnin‘
U's in America are pronounced like a double o, while in the Commonwealth they are pronounced like a "ew". Here are some examples: Stupid – stoopid – stewpid
Many people from Britain drop their r's at the end of words ending-ter, while ALSO dropping the t. While Americans will fully pronounce the r (some might drop the t, though)
Some Commonwealthers add -r to words ending in an A. Like the British would pronounce America like 'Americar' or Cuba like 'Cubar'. This is also prevalent in many New Britain states (especially Massachusetts).
