    Very interesting story.Of course most populous
    nation will become the world’s largest English-speaking Country in China.
    Hence it is most meaningful to express the
    English speaking .So these figures should be
    treated with caution.
    I’m really like this story.
    Good night

    India is largest English speaking than any other country. Apart from fluency Indians are speaking English with perfect grammar. It is second largest populated young country and having ratio of 62% young people i. e. between 18 to 45 years old. Out of this 72% only 15% are able to understand the English meaning, while 42% are speaking English with fluency and without any grammatical mistake and Remaining 5% are non-English speakers. Remaining 28% people our of 100% population which compromises kids and elders or senior ctitizens 6% are English speaking people and children. So now count 6%+42%15% = 63%. India’s total population is around 1Billion. Now anyone can easily understand that 63 million people are aware about English language and English speaking.

    That’s good for Chinese people . That may help them to express themselves better to the world since not many foreigners understand Chinese language .

    Hi Joe,
    Love reading your blogs and find your site useful. However, may I just correct something you wrote in your June 22 wordchecker? “diameter” is also spelt “ter” not “tre” (unlike “metre/meter) in “English” English. Happy blogging, Val, England.
