To understand how many countries have English as the first language, second language or foreign language, we use the Three Circle Model of World Englishes developed by the linguist Braj Kachru in 1985. According to this model, there are three circles of English speakers. The Inner Circle is made of countries that have a majority part of the population speaking English as native speakers. These countries are usually considered to be a part of what is known as the Anglosphere, which are countries with a majority of native English speakers. The core Anglosphere includes the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The United States has the largest English-speaking population in the world, with that number standing at 268 million. The Outer Circle is made up of nations that have a large part of the population speaking English as a second language. Over more than 1 billion people speak English as a second language. Most of the countries in the Outer Circle are former colonies of the British Empire. The largest country in this Circle is India with about 125 million English speakers, making it the second-largest English-speaking population in the world. India is followed by Pakistan (95 million), the Philippines (90 million), and Nigeria (79 million). The Expanding Circle is for people speaking English as a foreign language with more than 400 million speakers. While there is no doubt about the global nature of the English language, there are a few countries where English hasn’t been able to get a foothold. The most striking case of that of mainland China. If you are informed that around 10 million people in that country speak English, you would be forgiven if you think that it is an impressive number. China has a population of 1.4 billion - making its English-speaking population less than 1% of the total population. (Source: Internet) 36.
