Huh, it really is a universal language after all.

It's Zimbabwe in Africa:
While the majority of Zimbabweans speak Shona (75%) and Ndebele (18%) as a first language, standard English is the primary language used in education, government, commerce and media in Zimbabwe, giving it an important role in society. About 90 percent of the population can speak English fluently or at a high level, and it is the native language of White Zimbabweans

Suprised with Canada tbh.
I’d assumed nearly all Québecois can speak English.
I mean Montréal is basically half english native langauge speakers at this point.

What about Canada?

Indians not mentioned?
Given they are the largest group of English speakers and English has this "usage dictates form" rule that allows vapid influencers to be thankfully overwhelmed by people in India dictating the course of English by their very participation and number, India defines what English is and thus cannot be less than 90% usage.
What's more likely, since they dictate what is English, now, by "usage dictates form", the rest of us are no longer fluent English speakers unless and until we can correct our use of words like revert, below, willn't, and of course confirm the right head posture.
Now kindly revert to same.

You accidentally included Australia
This is part of the reason that, if I decide to leave the UK, I'll probably move to the Netherlands.
replies:
what is the history on the Netherlands? Are the languages so similar they can speak it by default?
