Re: English surprises (I think you'll be surprised)


 

-=-Is there also a statistic showing the percentage of the population that speaks English? That might be higher in UK and lower in India?-=-

Yes.? It's all explained at that link.??
It took following to noun/verb and then clicking another link, though.? I didn't want to give away the surprise in a post here. :-)

Canada's stats are interesting because so many francophones also speak English.
The Netherlands has a bit over 90% who speak English.??

The chart can't be perfect, but it's really?interesting (and surprising).



I'll make the link more obvious?to find at SandraDodd.com/nounverb? too, because it might not be easy to see from a phone.

Considering how many people are living in India, versus in the UK (or NZ / OZ), it makes sense to me that they¡¯d have the largest number.

Is there also a statistic showing the percentage of the population that speaks English? That might be higher in UK and lower in India?
