Template talk:Anglophone states
First p0st!
The template should show states with an Anglophone majority, and preferably one over 40%. I've included what I think are anglophone nations although I'm not entirely sure on some of the islands. The three crown dependencies are included as they are not part of the UK, merely dependent on the Crown. I don't know whether to include South Africa, whilst the English presence is undeniable, as far as I know, it's not a majority. I don't know the statistics of either Singapore or HK so I can't include them. +Hexagon1 (t) 13:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- English isn't the majority language in Suriname according to this site. Could you provide citations for the inclusion of Suriname. Rozth (talk) 17:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't South Africa be included, as it is the language most used by the government, media etc, as well as the most understood. It may not be the main mother tounge language, and according to most sources, the country is part of the Anglosphere. Also, I may be wrong, but couldn't my above description also be appropriate for countries such as Nigeria, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines were English is an official language, and the most widely understood. I believe that this template, should be renamed English speaking countries or Anglosphere, as there is no actual template that lists all countries where English has official status (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
