Abbreviating

For some reason, I woke up this morning ignoring the rain tapping arrhythmic music on the aluminium roof and the cat cavorting around the room as if possessed. Instead, I was pondering the trickery of the english language.
Why is it "I'm not" for "I am not"
yet
"We aren't" for "We are not" ?
Or is that "We're not". Are they both the same ?
 "I am'nt" just doesn't flow off the tongue, does it!
