Do you consider Singapore and the Netherlands as Anglo countries? According to the last Singaporean Census in 2015, English is now the most spoken home language for the resident population in Singapore, having surpassed Mandarin Chinese, it went up from 23.0% in 2000 to 36.9% in 2015, while Mandarin Chinese went from 35.0% in 2000 to 34.9% in 2015.
And taking into account only people aged 15 years and over, 83.1% are literate in English
According to the Eurobarometer Report "Europeans and their Languages" from 2012 91% of the Dutch population aged 15 and over can speak English, the figures from Malta, Sweden and Denmark are 93%, 88% and 87% respectively
For comparison, according to the 2011 Canadian Census "only" 85.6% of Canadian can speak English.
Made me think.

Does America consider Canada as an Anglo country?
>>70442207
By 2036, Canada will be run by immigrants(being serious here, look it up). The white race is finished for good
>>70442207
Americans don't even know what Anglo means.

I had a news flash.
Seems the city in Mirrors Edge is based off of Signapore then. I always wondered where a perfect anglo-chinese city would be.
No, they aren't "anglo countries".
It's a lot more than just speaking the language. It's a combination of having inherited UK legal systems, english as a national language (or at least a de facto one), the common law, the democratic tradition, having a large proportion of anglo-saxon populace, and having the economic structures derived from British industrialization.
The Anglosphere is exclusively comprised of Canada, USA, UK, NZ, and Australia.

No.

But why is Quebec included and not Ireland? What about Belize and the rest of the Caribbean English speaking countries? And what about some Pacific countries that also possess a lot of those traits? American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the United States Virgin Islands are literally American colonies and the same goes to other territories with similar geopolitical situations like Malvinas or Niue, Tokelau and Cook islands, are they Anglo or not?

Seeing as how Singapore was built by the British, this isn't news.
88% does not speak English fluently. I assume the definition is something like being able to order food and read a simple text

god damn I fucking love being Québécois sometimes

Is Quebec really to Canada what the South is to the United States, i.e. filled with surly, backwards rednecks?
>>70440896
Nee.

No, it's not even slightly the most redneck part of Canada. The Atlantic provinces and the prairie provinces are much more redneck.
Our way of speaking French is a bit redneck-like though. Tons of contractions, ellipsis of words, strange archaic vocabulary which dissapeared centuries ago in Europe, our fair share of anglicisms, removing and adding consonants at the end of words on a seemingly random basis, removing letters all over the place, and a huge diversity of vowels (at least, compared to our European counterparts).
