国別英語話者数ランキング

この記事は、2000年時点での各国の英語の話者人口を話者の多い順に並べたリストである。掲載しているデータには、英語を母国語として話す人と第二言語として話す人の両方を含む。

何をもって第二言語話者と見なすかについて広く支持された定義(例えば、その国において英語が共通語なのか否か)が無いなどの理由から第二言語の統計は不正確であることが多い。

なお、いくつかのデータはWikipedia編集者が他のソースを元に計算したものであるため、不正確なデータも含まれている可能性もあるから、データの取扱いには十分に注意が必要である。

英語で発行される新聞で最も発行部数が多いのはザ・タイムズ・オブ・インディア(1日につき324万部)であるが、インドでは英語を母語として使っている人は全体の1/4しか居ない。 この点なども考慮して、大局的な視野でこのデータを扱う必要がある。

この一覧は未完成です。加筆、訂正して下さる協力者を求めています。
