nice thread
:thumbsup

Very nice thread, congrats! But are you sure about all those countries?

WHAHAHA :1orglaugh

lol good one ;)

Don't have time to go through the whole list but for an example both bahrain and bangladesh don't have english as their main language...

As mentioned before Bahrain no but Singapore yes.

Umm.. USA perhaps?

I know its debatable but still.. :winkwink:

nah most of the USA speaks Russian, Spanish or Chineese

hehe... good one...

hmmm, here is another small country who's ONLY common language is English:

INDIA

only 1 billion people...

so now you left out the two biggest countries that speak English...

Eh good catch...

But are we maybe flattering english a tad here, as a european born american I can tell you it's the norm in europe to learn 2-3 languages at least with english being very high at the top but not 'main language' it's always secondary, sure english is becoming #1 global language but in many of the countries listed english really is a secondary language, the fact that the population is able to master it to such a degree is impressive due to necessity but still there are regional dialects even of their primary language that takes precedence before english. let's keep things in perspective :thumbsup

Remember I am talking about what countries the MAIN language is English....

Keep them coming.

The end result that I am after is a list of countries that the MAIN language is English.
