Why are americans so persistent about English language and hate other languages?
A dumb person can learn english, it doesn’t imply intelligence. Secondly, english was invented by britishers.

Are they and do they?
Anyone normally does learn the language of the country of his or her birth - and indeed of another country if moving there or visiting it regularly enough. Obviously they can't speak it though if "dumb", i.e. lacking the ability to speakl.
Oh, and Britons, please, not "britishers". Also, the American dialect differs a lot from British English, but does contain elements of 16C English.
Do Americans "hate" other languages? That is a very strong verb. I doubt most "hate" them; not interested in them, more likely. Perhaps they see no need because they cannot or choose not to visit other countries, nor want a career in which the skill is helpful or necessary.
Most Britons learn French as a second language simply because that is set in schools as France is the nearest foreign country, very accessible, with many trading and other links between the two nations, and France has long been very popular among Britons for holidays.
Is there an equivalent for Americans? I would think Spanish, as the main modern languages in Mexio and the South American nations are dialects of Spanish.
