English in the U.S. and UK is '' De Facto '' only; these nations have no official language. The status of English as a country's official language does not necessarily correlate with the number of English-speakers in that country. This is especially true for India and many Africa n nations, and to a smaller extent for the Philippines. Note that almost all of these countries are current or former colonies of the UK (see also British Empire ). Two exceptions are the Philippines and Liberia , both former US colonies. Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are also currently US territories. These nations total 2,135 million people, 15,583,152 square miles and about 18 trillion US dollars in GDP. India represents over half this population, and the United States represents over half this GDP. SEE ALSO FOOTNOTES |
