From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of countries and territories where English is an official language-that is, a language used in citizen interactions with government officials. As of 2020, there were 58 sovereign states and 28 non-sovereign entities where English was an official language.[citation needed ] Many administrative divisions have declared English an official language at the local or regional level.

Most states where English is an official language are former territories of the British Empire. Exceptions include Rwanda and Burundi, which were formerly German and then Belgian colonies; Cameroon, where only part of national territory was under British mandate; and Liberia, the Philippines, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau, which were American territories. English is the sole official language of the Commonwealth of Nations and of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). English is one of the official languages of the United Nations, the European Union, ى, the African Union, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Caribbean Community, the Union of South American Nations, and many other international organisations. Although English is not de jure an official language at the national level in the United States, most states and territories within the United States have English as an official language, and only Puerto Rico uses a language other than English as a primary working language.

The United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, where the overwhelming majority of native English speakers reside, do not have English as an official language de jure, but English is considered their de facto official language because it dominates in these countries.[citation needed ]

Countries where English is a de jure official language

Countries where English is a predominant language conventionally spoken by both the government and main population, despite it having no de jure official status at national level

Countries where English is a de facto working language in government or education, but it is not recognized as de jure official, nor a primary language spoken by the main population

Non-sovereign entities where English is a de jure official language

Non-sovereign entities where English is a de facto official language

Non-sovereign entities where English is a de facto official, but not a primary language

In these country subdivisions, English has de jure official status, but English is not official in their respective countries at the national level.

The New Zealand Sign Language Act 2006 permits the use of NZSL in legal proceedings, facilitates competency standards for its interpretation and guides government departments in its promotion and use. English, the medium for teaching and learning in most schools, is a de facto official language by virtue of its widespread use. For these reasons, these three languages have special mention in the New Zealand Curriculum.

While English is not declared anywhere as an official language, the reality is that it has a very high and unique status in Israel.

When you're learning English, watching TV shows and reading books can be a huge help - but another great way to learn is by exploring the best movies for learning English. Not only will watching movies get you familiar with different accents, you'll also get an incredible insight into English-speaking culture from around the world.
What are the best movies for learning English?

From immersing yourself in 19th Century Britain to experiencing life in suburban California, movies give you a chance to live the language as it's spoken in real life. Here are 10 of the best movies for learning English.

1. Forrest Gump

Starring the incredible Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump tells the tale of a man with low IQ who has lived an extraordinary life. The whole film is narrated by Forrest, who speaks with a 'Southern Drawl' (accent from the South of the United States) that is slow, easy to understand and perfect for English beginners.

2. When Harry met Sally

When Harry Met Sally is a classic American rom-com that tells the story of two friends and their growing relationship. Although the 1989 storyline might be a little dated (old-fashioned) now, the film is full of catchphrases (well-known phrases) that have become iconic in modern American culture. The film begins with a long conversation between the two characters over a lengthy car journey, providing you with plenty of dialogue to practise your listening skills.

3. Four Weddings and a Funeral

Not sure whether you want a British or American accent? Four Weddings and a Funeral gives you the best of both! In a classic film set over the course of four weddings (and a funeral, obviously) Hugh Grant plays an awkward British wedding guest who falls for Andie McDowell, a beautiful American woman. Four Weddings gives you a chance to learn the best British slang and compare the two accents with this heartwarming movie.

4. Little Women

One of the most successful movies of 2019, Little Women is a great choice for language learners because of its clear dialogue and charming storyline. The film tells the story of four sisters living during the American Civil War and is of particular interest to fans of American history. Once you're familiar with the film, you can also try reading the novel it's based on!

5. Great Gatsby

A modern interpretation of the classic American novel, Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby is perfect for English language learners who want to learn more about 1920s America. With slow and sombre dialogue as well as an incredible soundtrack, this movie will keep any English language learner interested.

6. The Social Network

The story behind Facebook is definitely one worth learning about! This captivating movie traces Mark Zuckerberg's life from college student to entrepreneur and is perfect for practising legal and technical vocabulary.

7. Juno

Hilarious, endearing and easy to understand, Juno is the perfect film for students who prefer independent films to big Hollywood blockbusters (commercially successful films). This movie also makes a great talking point for conversation class. Try watching it in a group and asking each other: ' What would you do if you were in Juno's situation? ''

8. The Imitation Game

The moving story of an English war-hero who ended up being persecuted for his sexuality, the Imitation Game gives learners the chance to discover an untold story in British history. The language spoken in the film is a perfect example of the 'Queen's English' with clear pronunciation and easy to understand dialogue.

9. Frozen

The delightful story of a girl searching for her sister, Frozen is an immensely popular Disney movie that's super simple to understand. Yes it may be a kid's movie, but if you're new to learning English then watching children's films is the perfect starting point. With simple dialogue and catchy theme songs, kids' films are a great introduction to English movies.

10. The King's Speech

What a great idea for learning English - watching a film where the main character - a historic British figure - is learning to speak! King George VI struggles to communicate due to a speech impediment, which means pronunciation is a very big focus in this movie.

Tips for Learning English with Movies

1. The shorter the better

Choose shorter films so you don't become overwhelmed with new vocabulary and feel tempted to stop watching halfway through.

2. Use English subtitles

Watching the movie with English subtitles, rather than subtitles in your own language means you'll be reading and listening to new vocabulary at the same time. This makes it much easier for you to understand new words and get to know the plot of the film.

3. Avoid pausing the movie to look up words

Try not to pause and look up words you don't understand, as this will stop you from enjoying the plot. Instead, try and work out the word's meaning from context- you might find you learn more than you think!

English is the most spoken language in the world. But who speaks English exactly? Lingoda breaks it down for you.

Learn About All The English Speaking Countries

The English language has approximately 400 million native speakers worldwide, trailing only Mandarin and Spanish. However, it is also the single most popular second language. As a result, when native and non-native English speakers are combined, it is recognized as the single most widely-spoken global language.

In fact, English is recognized as an official language in a total of 67 different countries, as well as 27 non-sovereign entities. Moreover, it is a major business language, as well as the official language of a number of the world's most important institutions, including the United Nations, NATO and the European Union.

What Are The Main English Speaking Countries?

English is perhaps most commonly associated with the United States and the United Kingdom; the two largest English speaking countries. It is believed that there are around 230 million native speakers in the United States, making it the largest English-speaking country, while the United Kingdom has approximately 60 million native speakers.

Despite having two different official languages, Canada has the third largest English-speaking population, with somewhere in the region of 20 million native speakers, while Australia is next in the list, with around 17 million.

Some of the other notable countries around the world where English is the primary language include the Republic of Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand. Combined, these three countries are believed to be home to around 13 million people who speak English as their first language.

Overview of English Speaking Countries

Below, we provide a breakdown of some of the most significant countries that have English as either a de jure or a de facto official language. The countries have been sorted based on their geographical location. An official language is defined as a language used by the citizens of that country during interactions with their government. It should be noted that some of the countries listed have more than one official language and, therefore, English may not necessarily be their most common native language.

How English Spread Around the World

The English language originated in Britain and the ever-expanding British Empire spread Modern English around the world during the 18th and 19th centuries. This is why many of the countries where English is an official language were former British colonies, including Canada, Australia, South Africa and the United States. English is also widely spoken in India and in parts of Africa. Although Hindi is the most widely-spoken language in India today, English remains an official language in the country and is often used in university education, and within the field of politics. Officially, just 12% of Indian people speak English, with many only speaking it as a second language. Nevertheless, the country has an extremely dense population, meaning that this 12% cross-section of society exceeds 100 million people. As a result, India has one of the largest English-speaking populations on the planet. Throughout the 20th century, the United States emerged as a major political superpower, especially in the years after World War II. Its influence, combined with Hollywood films and the journalistic work of the British Broadcasting Corporation, are credited with the continued spread of the language throughout the century.

English remains the only official language of the Commonwealth of Nations and is also the recognised official language of several non-sovereign entities, including Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and Bermuda.

By the turn of the new millennium, English was the most widely-spoken and written language that has ever existed.
