Edited out the "the" before Ireland. I don't know what the original author was smoking when they wrote that.

Anglo edit

If this article has to be just a redirect, Anglo would be more appropriate than English language.

Why isn't Scandianvia included as heavy adoption? Every person in Sweden under 40 speaks english better than I do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.125.80.169 (talk) 23:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Map edit

The map needs to be redone. It's clearly missing some countries where English is the prime language, such as Liberia and Kenya, as well as places with large English-speaking populations (Singapore immediately comes to mind and is big enough to fit on the map). --ip.address.conflict (too lazy to login) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.159.255.67 (talk) 18:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

English or English pidgins are much more used in West African countries than in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania where Swahili is the common language for interethnic communication. --JWB 19:16, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

The map also needs to include Israel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.104.181.229 (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

"Anglophone" pejorative? Since when? edit

OK, I'm changing this now, because Anglophone, just like Francophone or allophone, are not pejorative in any way, they are descriptive, and calling them pejorative is ridiculous. :( 122.149.53.6 (talk) 15:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
