Hi Mahesh how are you. English is mother tongue in United kingdom , USA ,Canada and Australia so I think everybody is speaking in English in these countries. If the study says that Germany has the most English speaking people then the reason can be that people from other English speaking countries have migrated to Germany or have been there for official work. As far as I know Germans speak German language. Any way whatever......I like Hindi.......and MERA DESH MAHAN....

If you consider countries where English is a second language then India will top the list, Otherwise it just depends on the population of the English speaking countries.

Dear Mahesh, India currently has a special place in the English language record books - as the country with the largest English-speaking population in the world. Ten years ago that record was held by the US. Not any more. The population of India passed a billion a couple of years ago, and is increasing at the rate of 3% per annum. In 1997 an India Today survey suggested that about a third of the population had the ability to carry on a conversation in English. This was an amazing increase over the estimates of the 1980s, when only about 4%-5% of the population were thought to use the language. And given the steady increase in English learning since 1997 in schools and among the upwardly mobile, we must today be talking about at least 350 million. This is more than the combined English-speaking populations of Britain and the US. You can see the details in the site http://education.guardian.co.uk/tefl/story/0,,1355064,00.html

I think perhaps USA has the largest number of people to speak English. English is their main language. Although Canada is larger, however, some people in Canada use French. And UK doesn't have more people than USA.

i guess none other than the United States of America (USA), in Asia it is the Philippines. English is the global language and it pays if you know how to use it .

Hi MAHESH2008. Do you mean “non-English” countries that have the largest number of people that can speak English? Um, I guess ... probably India. Back then when I was still a kid, I met a lot of Indian expatriates teaching English at our local courses (in my city, Jakarta), and back then I was even thinking that all people in India used English as the national language but after I saw some Indian movies, well, I thought I was wrong. But mostly the Indian people I ever met would be able to speak English.
