Edited out the "the" before Ireland. I don't know what the original author was smoking when they wrote that.

Anglo

[edit]

If this article has to be just a redirect, Anglo would be more appropriate than English language.

Why isn't Scandianvia included as heavy adoption? Every person in Sweden under 40 speaks english better than I do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.125.80.169 (talk) 23:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]

The map needs to be redone. It's clearly missing some countries where English is the prime language, such as Liberia and Kenya, as well as places with large English-speaking populations (Singapore immediately comes to mind and is big enough to fit on the map). --ip.address.conflict (too lazy to login) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.159.255.67 (talk) 18:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

English or English pidgins are much more used in West African countries than in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania where Swahili is the common language for interethnic communication. --JWB 19:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The map also needs to include Israel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.104.181.229 (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I've included "or region" in the map because Quebec is not a country Canking (talk) 05:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Anglophone" pejorative? Since when?

[edit]

OK, I'm changing this now, because Anglophone, just like Francophone or allophone, are not pejorative in any way, they are descriptive, and calling them pejorative is ridiculous. :( 122.149.53.6 (talk) 15:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
